Doctor friend of mine emailed me that these unvaccinated numbers are false. Said he works 2 hospitals. About 30 COVID patients in each. 27-28 were vaccinated in both which is 90-95% that are vaccinated. Israel has surveys showing high percentage in hospitals are vaccinated.

Why is OP trying to shame those that choose to be safe for now and see how these vaccines work before taking them or not???
Even the CDC says vaccines don't prevent a person from getting COVID nor stops them from transmitting COVID to others!
This comment is anecdotal, at best, but according to your doctor friend, how many of those 27-28 died?
And when a population group is nearly fully vaccinated, of course a large portion of the people that are infected will be vaccinated. For the one millionth time, the vaccine doesn't prevent anyone from getting the virus. To take it one step further, if a population group was 100% vaccinated, 100% of the people that end up infected would be vaccinated. That doesn't mean the vaccine isn't accomplishing the intended purpose.
You keep talking about Israel. What's important to note is that the infections are high right now because of Delta, but the fatality numbers are significantly lower than before the vaccine. And we will know more in the coming weeks and months, but it is likely this curve will go faster than the previous ones because so much of their population is vaccinated.
