the headline is lower efficacy if you actually look at the absolute risk reduction as opposed to the relative risk reduction is at least as efficacious as pfizer and moderna i found that to be very interesting

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
and you want to know something interesting that is a higher number than either of the other vaccines the pfizer vaccines absolute risk reduction was 0.9 percent and the modern vaccines absolute risk reduction i want to say was 1.2 or 1.3
the Pfizer absolute risk difference was like 0.9 percent and you're right right the total number of cases was about 170 total cases in 20 000 or 40 000 I'm sorry forty thousand but you're right the difference was eight versus like 165 or something like that
when the j vaccine received its emergency youth authorization i think the headline grabbing statement was hey we just heard that pfizer is i'm 96 effective and moderna 95 effective but j and j looks like it's only 66 percent effective
