Why is Israel having such a hard time with the pandemic despite their relatively high vaccination rate?

Shouldn't we be seeing the exact opposite if the current crop of vaccines were the best solution?

They were the first to vaccinate, and because of the relatively first two shots being close together, a third booster is needed. They see good results from that. Studies show having the vaccines wider apart gives longer and stronger immune response.

I believe this effect is not exclusive to covid vaccines.

Israel has a moderately higher vaccination rate than the US and currently has close to 50% fewer deaths per capita from COVID.

I wish the US was doing as well a Israel right now! Hundreds and hundreds of Americans would not be dying every single day if we were.

From the article: because children are unvaccinated.
