      I think I need these numbers explained to me. It looks like after 28 days 5 people got Covid in the placebo group and none in the vaccinated group. That’s not significant. Also, what did the numbers look like after 100 days? I’m sure there are good answers to this but where?https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1364573363482603522 …

      J&J has filed its EUA application. Great news again! 28 days after vaccination with this one-dose easy-to-store vaccine, the vaccinated group had ZERO cases requiring medical intervention (14 in placebo), ZERO hospitalizations (16 in placebo) and ZERO deaths (7 in placebo). pic.twitter.com/ZFGTTbjnlE

      Replying to @GovHowardDean

      A few people getting mild COVID—essentially a cold—even after vaccination is to be expected—we do not have a single vaccine that doesn't occasionally suffer from breakthrough cases. However, when we can reduce the disease burden globally to another cold, the pandemic is over.

          Is this ever because of injection malfunction?

          Replying to @zeynep

          I don’t question the very worthwhile observation that people had few symptoms, I question the statistical significance of the numbers in the verbal and optical version of the numbers. I have some faith in the CDC now that Trump is gone but I need to understand this conclusion

          Compare the numbers to the placebo group. (Yes confidence intervals are large for low-frequency in both arms events). Also I didn't put in the vaccine efficacy numbers which are statistically stronger and that's why we chose those endpoints. It's good & FDA has been good on this.pic.twitter.com/xobKSZ0JB3
