The Anti-Vaxx crowd using Data from countries such as Israel fail to realise the Data actually supports the Vaccines. I would expect it from the usual mouth breathers on Social media, but I've been totally gobsmacked at how many Pilots completely fail to correctly interpret the data. When comparing Deaths or Hospitalization numbers of Vax vs Unvaxxed you need to account for the Population size of each group. Simply saying X% are Vaxx and Y% are not is a completely meaningless statistic.

This is a month or so old now, but worth a read for those who need a refresher on their High School Statistics:
