Over 3 million Israelis have now received COVID vaccine boosters
[Times of Israel] - Over three million Israelis have received a third dose of the coronavirus vaccine, the Health Ministry announced on Friday.

The ministry said 3,020,716 Israelis have received the booster shot since they began to be offered this summer, while urging all eligible citizens over 12 to go and get vaccinated if they haven’t already.

"The vaccine has proven to be the most effective means of fighting the coronavirus, and it is available to everyone. Everyone who gets vaccinated protects themselves, their family and their surroundings," the Health Ministry said in a statement.

...Also Friday, a US government advisory panel was meeting to decide whether to approve administering booster shots of Pfizer-BioNTech’s coronavirus vaccine, with Israeli health officials presenting figures indicating waning immunity against infection among all age groups around six months after vaccination.
And not a single death or serious complication: https://www.timesofisrael.com/of-600000-israelis-who-received-3rd-dose-fewer-than-50-reported-side-effects/.
Plus. Study: COVID booster recipients 20 times more protected against serious illness
https://www.timesofisrael.com/study-covid-booster-recipients-20-times-more-protected-against-serious-illness/
A new study conducted in Israel shows that individuals given a third COVID-19 vaccine dose are nearly twenty times more protected against serious illness and more than ten times more protected against infection, compared with those who received their second dose at least five months previously.
Yet, according to some sources, in USA you die the moment you just think about getting the third shot - I wonder what the explanation to the difference is (Maybe Israeli government managed to keep thousands of deaths secret?).

#1 The Religious Tenets of the Holy Church of Covid 19 Vaccination.
-If you get sick after the 1st vaccine shot, it's because you haven't had the 2nd shot yet.
-If you get sick after the 2nd vaccine shot, it's because 21 days didn't passed yet since you had the 2nd shot.
-If you get sick after more than 21 days since the 2nd shot, then the role of the vaccine was for you not the get gravelly ill.
-If you get gravely ill, then the role of the vaccine was to keep you from dying.
f you die, then at least you should be consoled knowing that "no vaccine is 100% effective, and anyhow, your death is the fault of those right-wing anti-vaxxing nutjobs.
Furthermore, because of the interesting times we are living in, you should also know the following:
-If you get ill or die because of the vaccine, the vaccine manufacturers cannot be held liable for your death.
-The government who is mandating you to get vaccinated also cannot be held liable.
-The nurse who jabs you in the arm and puts the vaccine in you isn't liable either.
-But if you refuse to get vaccinated, then you're responsible for every single Covid death in the world!

#3 Interesting quip I came across; how many times can you roll those dice with a medical procedure, before the medical procedure becomes more dangerous than the concern?

Even though I was a professional dishwasher for a number of years, the person who tells me I don't do that correctly agreed, how does one measure such an abstract, subjective thing as "Didn't get as sick as I could have."

#6 in USA you die the moment you just think about getting the third shot

Lots of people in the US are getting vaxed. The participation rate in the vax program is impressive. I hope your data is correct and the vax program is successful, but, I attempted to post articles with data that contradict what you have posted. So the jury is still out.

#8 Don't worry about the numbers getting the boosters.
You'll be doing it again. You're now chasing diminishing returns.

#10 And not a single death or serious complication

So it's the only pharmaceutical ever produced without side effects. That seems totally plausible.
