Unvaccinated adults now account for the majority of severe COVID-19 cases and fatalities in Israel, with over six of every 10 new severe cases recorded on Tuesday linked to this group.
Around 15 percent of eligible Israelis over the age of 12 (some 1,105,000 people) are still unvaccinated. Of this group, 10 percent (755,000 people) are over the age of 20 and constitute nearly all of the countrys serious cases and deaths ...
The most prominent common denominator among seriously ill patients currently filling up Israels coronavirus wards and intensive care units is that they are not vaccinated against COVID.

They should not be allowed to endanger the vast majority of the population. Sorry about your supposed rights. You don't have the right to infect everyone else. Sorry.

Vaccination rates among Israeli Arabs are lower than for all Israelis, but ultraorthodox Jews are even lower. .
