There have been many hundreds of events across trials We often focus on "top line" efficacy But pay scant attention to how well these vaccines prevent severe illness These results are for events after vaccines have had a chance to work -- typically 14 days after first shot

Pretty great right?
-
we have yet to educate the public between the concepts of efficacy or effectiveness. Media needs to help out on this. And yeah, pretty bloody impressive to have such high levels of efficacy reported in the RCTs. In the end, we want to prevent death, and people going to hospital

would be good to also see the number of people in the placebo arm who were hospitalized or died of Covid. could split each cell diagonally to include that info.

agree....all for simplifying but the comparison is why we do controlled trials

Didn’t one of the vaccinated pts in the Pfizer study developed severe Covid?

“Among 10 cases of severe Covid-19 with onset after the first dose, 9 occurred in placebo recipients and 1 in a BNT162b2 recipient.”

So just as many people died from the vaccine as died from COVID! Why have we not been told this before? [Sarcasm is the most sincere form of flattery]

I would not tweet something so wrong even as a sarcastic joke. This shows the virus killing 5 unvaccinated people. No one died or was hospitalized due to the vaccine.pic.twitter.com/sHfFZ68NsV
