Primary Y-axis plots new deaths per million (purple) and its 7-day moving average (black). Secondary Y-axis plots total number of vaccination doses per 100 people (red), mean new ICU admissions (grey), and mean infections per 100,000 people (yellow) in Israel. Source: new deaths per million and total vaccinations per 100 people from Our World in Data [2]. The mean new ICU admissions and estimated mean infections from IHME [3]. A multiple regression of the estimated infections per 100K over this period yields an adjusted R2 of 77% and a negative association with respect to total vaccinations per 100 (p < 0.001) controlling for the IHME stringency index of policies (p < 0.001).
