There is absolutely no way we will get vaccine update like Israel, there are far too many antivaxxers in the states for that to happen. They will just catch it sometime between now and year's end I will guess.

Israel had a fair number of antivaxxers, as well as people who aren't quite antivaxxers but are very wary of vaccination. The "green passport" (proof of vaccination that is required to take part in much of normal life there currently) has been doing a decent job of fixing that... Although I'm skeptical that the US will follow suit to the same degree.

I think Israel is kind of plateuing at around ~55% of the population vaccinated? I'm sure it will continue to increase, but the rate of increase seems to be slowing. I'm not seeing much evidence that the US will stay lower than that.
