Let's get this straight about their vaccine.
30,000 volunteers. Half got the vaccine and half got the placebo.
85 on the placebo got covid symptoms or tested positive.
9 on the vaccine got covid.
Seems that no vaccine is also pretty effective if only 85 out of 15,000 volunteers got covid.
While that is a great efficacy rate for the vaccine we are trying to vaccinate the entire population for something that is not wildly infectious and has an extremely low mortality rate. The efficacy rate would matter much more if the infection rates and mortality rates were not so low.
I am all for a vaccine, if a person wants to take it. Should be their right to decide without threat of consequences from which ever side of the debate you fall on.
