"Coronavirus patients who recovered from the virus were far less likely to become infected during the latest wave of the pandemic than people who were vaccinated against COVID, according to numbers presented to the Israeli Health Ministry."

Nobody is making the claim it came from an academic journal. It was supposedly in data released by an Israeli government agency. Now, I don't know if that's true or not; but it's wrong to suggest anything that doesn't come from a peer-reviewed paper is misinformation.

I agree with you - I updated my comment to be more clear in this regard.

Correct and no one has been able to find an official public source for this data. Unless someone can provide such a reference, I hope you agree that we must consider it misinformation.
