Personal opinion: I hate the optics of this tweet. It inspires false confidence. The people who are vaccinated are highly clustered together. The chances of the average person on the street bumping into someone who was vaccinated is much, much less than 1 in 20. The people who are most likely to spread the virus are also less likely to have been vaccinated. IMO, the cup is much less than half full here.
It depends what you infer from it. If you drop precautions, you're an idiot. If you're reassured that there's an end in sight and gather more patience to maintain caution, you're doing it right.

You're touching on a very important point. It's a flaw in the Israeli real world data. We know for example Russians in Israel in particular ar less likely to be vaccinated, and the inverse of that is that somebody who is vaccinated is more likely to be around others who are vaccinated, so if they don't get Covid, it is not only because of their vaccine but also because of the network effect of their contacts being more likely to be vaccinated.
Are they still pre-allocating 50% of vaccine supply pipeline for second doses? Otherwise they’re going to get into serious trouble needing to supply the second dose on time while keeping the momentum going on the 1st dose initiative.
I believe they are.
