Title: the pfizer + german vaccine interime results Post by: franky1 on November 09, 2020, 01:36:30 PM it says so far passed the safety tests.
it says so far 90% effective lets explain out of 44k people on trial 22k are ones with vaccine and 22k are placebo at this mile stone they had 94 infections noted. but ~85 were in the placebo group and ~9 were in the vaccinated group so they say its 90% effective because of the ratio of vaccine:placebo infection rate its still too early to say that the other 21,990 are actually protected by the vaccine. or just been lucky enough to have not been near weird face lickers who were sick and pass it to them they want to start a trial in january+ where people are actually put in proximity of sick people/given the active virus to see if the vaccine does protect the other 21.9k emphasis: so far results are still not clear if its actually working or if people just are not hanging around sick people all they can establish is so far of the numbers getting sick in the placebo group from normal life and coming into contact.. the vaccine group have had 90% less sickness but yea only 94 infections in both groups out of 44k participants in both groups.. is just too early to be definitive |
