#2Yes but all fully vaccinated had no symptoms. It is also unclear if the vaccinated infected anyone else.
This is a huge difference than if these people actually got sick.
The WSJ could have gone with a positive headline, instead they go with the one that causes doubt and fear in people. Then add the people who can't actually read the article to find out the details.

#5These Delta headlines feel like the powers that be prepping the masses for continued lockdowns. No vaccine is perfect. It’s possible to get vanilla Covid-19 after being vaccinated. The whole point is it’s a hell of a lot less likely, which severely reduces r0

#6Globally we need to decide if we’re aiming for 0 covid infections or controlled like the flu. It seems that is the biggest divide with the population in the United States right now. If we’re okay with the flu then we already know how to prevent, protect, and treat infections. Plus the vaccine is available for anyone that wishes to take it.

Actually, according to news, some of the vaccinated do have symptoms (no increase in hospitalizations so far) and looks like they did infected other people. (in Israel still done contact tracing)

#8Naturally, all diseases evolve with time.
The OG late-2019 Wuhan covid strain, which all current vaccines are based on, was almost 2 years ago and no longer exists in the wild

From their numbers it seems like the 20% of Israelis who are neither children nor vaccinated represent about 0 delta cases?
To be able to do such a rounding error in an article implies to me that delta is roughly as infectious in the vaccinated as vanilla was in the unvaccinated.
That's probably not a cause for concern for the vaccinated, as it won't even rarely kill them, but that does mean the herd immunity eventually will not be protecting the unvaccinated from a variant.

I think it's the powers that be trying to scare the unvaccinated masses into getting a vaccine. A much easier approach would be to give $100 to anyone who gets their vaccine.
