I guess you missed the link to CDC study in Los Angeles. The Delta virus does not care where it is. Delta surge started earlier in Israel. Scientists around the world have closely watched Israel to see how vaccinations could affect the pandemic, since the country launched a rapid vaccination campaign in December 2020. This saw more than half of its population fully vaccinated as early as March this year.
PS I didn't say a thing about hospitalizations, just refuted your wild assertion that breathrough cases/infections were at "vastly different rates"
But since you asked for it.
Earlier this month, Science magazine reported that 514 Israelis were hospitalized with COVID as of August 15, that
59 percent of these had been fully vaccinated, and that the vast majority of these fully vaccinated people were aged 60 or older.
Israel's Grim COVID Data Suggests Vaccines Alone Won't Stop Pandemic.
