This is *significant* because they started their 2nd doses ~30 days ago, which suggests it's [at least in part] the impact from one dose

According to Johns Hopkins University, Israel has seen 1,523 deaths in the last 30 days, which means only 45 deaths in the vaccinated cohort https://twitter.com/SussexFriends/status/1359112763000446982
Looking forward to deeper analysis, but it looks plausible that a single dose of Pfizer's vaccine decreases likelihood of death considerably in a B.1.1.7 saturated population...and as reducing deaths was the UK's primary motivator for delayed dosing, it's *potential* vindication
Worth noting that Israel is currently one of the best places in the world to be treated for COVID infection

They currently have a Case Fatality Rate of ~0.75%, compared with England where CFR is currently ~2.87%, but the headline reduction in deaths is undeniably significant
