"I think that's JBP's point. If the curves are indistinguishable that means Israel is actually doing better because they have an older population"

i think you're missing the point i was making:

if age was so impactful, why was it not a factor before vaccination?

they were literally identical once you time shift.

and israel is a VERY young country too.

whatever the variance, they performed indistinguishably before vaccines and then indistinguishably after.

so where is the case that vaccines bent the curve at all?

and why did israel see the same all cause mortality as least seasonal spike?
