Israel was the first country on Earth to fully vaccinate a majority of its citizens against COVID-19. Now it has one of the world's highest daily infection rates — an average of nearly 7,500 confirmed cases a day, double what it was two weeks ago. Nearly one in every 150 people in Israel today has the virus.
What happened, and what can be learned about the vaccine's impact on a highly vaccinated country? Here are six lessons learned — and one looming question for the future of the pandemic.

Thanks for posting this. It is worthy to note that the manufacturer Pfizer is explicitly mentioned: "...Pfizer, said their data showed a dip in the vaccine's protection around six months after receiving the second shot" and "Preliminary research in Israel suggests booster shots significantly increase protection against the coronavirus a week after a person receives the third dose."
Unfortunately, this makes me wonder, and I would be glad to be wrong, that this is not a pharma money making scheme.
The local VA here uses Moderna vaccines.

A report, not fully peer-reviewed as Fauci noted, stated that Moderna seems to be more effective as a booster than Pfizer
