If I have 5 guests, I can go to a supermarket and buy 5 beers.

If I have 5000 guests, I have to find a beer maker who can make and deliver 5000 beers by a given date. The difference in the challenge is obvious, to any rational observer.

But sure, from far enough, both things can be described as "buying beers for guests".

And more importantly: you can afford to pay twice as much because in absolute terms that's not a huge amount for a relatively rich country as Israel. The EU on a per-capita basis isn't nearly as rich and isn't going to give the medical companies all of their data.

It's about as apples-to-oranges as you can get.
