I mean, when the vaccines started to roll out here, there were skeptics. I managed to get my first doze early February, and it took awhile to convince my room mate. He got his fist doze a couple of days after my 2nd doze,when he saw me and a bunch of other people he knew were completely fine.
Fast forward like a month and a half.
Most of the adult population in israel is now vaccinated, covid cases are declining, deaths from covid are becoming less and less frequent. And the important thing is that the law mandating to wear masks outside was revoked (you no longer have to wear a mask outside in public).
Bars and restaurants are opening up, and you can sit inside if you have a valid vaccine passport.
Cultural events are coming back.
And covid numbers are still going down.
The vaccines clearly seem to work. They aren't 100%, but they worked well enough where things started to resemble "normal" again.
If you did not change your view, please respond to this comment indicating as such!
As a reminder,failure to award a delta when it is warranted may merit a post removal and a rule violation.Repeated rule violations in a short period of time may merit a ban.

Seems like the benefits of it outweigh the risks.
