Didn't Israel already prove that it's a stupid idea to lift restrictions too soon? Let's see how Denmark fare...

It did, as did the Netherlands. It seems to me it's not an either-or situation (meaning either vaccinating or practical steps like social distancing, mask-wearing and thorough hand-washing), but doing both. What Israel did was to do the first very well, but forgot to ensure people did the social distancing, mask wearing, etc, as well.
