Am often asked about different vaccines and their efficacy Each trials tracks, reports efficacy differently Currently, we have preliminary results for Novavax and J&J But what numbers matter? What should you look for? Here's one set of data to track. In a simple tablepic.twitter.com/9m2OBgqcla
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
Yes thank you for a simple breakdown the media has really tried to undersell J&J for whatever reason even tho it works well
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
It helps if you give data on number of serious reactoins to vaccine and also international data as big numbers are tried in other countries too. Dont know if possible to get that data openly shared by the companies or Govt.
It is probably hard to definitively know if someone had a reaction to the vaccine or if it was something else. But whether or not someone was hospitalized/died is really clear.
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
