This has no relevance at all to the topic. Israel and the US do not even use the Astra Zeneca vaccine.
You forgot the UK, with a -37% in the last week (Astra Zeneca is the most widely used vaccine), despite the removal of almost all domestic restrictions.
Not that a one week change in figures is a measure of efficacy.

If the objective is to cherry pick good data to show how well Russia is doing, well here are figures for deaths per million in the last 7 days (below).
Considering the terrible result, it's good to see the number of cases in Russia declining. I guess that's not due to Sputnik, as less than 25% of the Russian population have taken it. Why ?

World Deaths Per Million
3 Russia 37.21
9 USA 5.53
15 Thailand 9.50
16 Philippines 5.19
21 UK 5.67
23 Vietnam 1.92
41 Cambodia 9.61

Getting back to the topic, cutting your risk of getting covid to 1/8 th of the original level seems like a good result.
