Another entry in the “good” column: no hospitalisations or severe cases of the disease were reported in participants receiving the vaccine.
I agree about the confusion, though. I worry that people will avoid this vaccine, in the hopes of receiving the Moderna/Biontech one instead.
That would be a real shame, because the results here are extremely positive. The media’s reporting of this is concerning.
- freeone3000 6y agoDue to the low sample size, it's unclear whether there were no severe cases due to the vaccine -- it's likely that there would have been no severe cases in a given group of 39 COVID-positive individuals even with no intervention.
- mantap 6y agoIt depends on the ages of the 39 people. If those were 39 eighty year olds, that would be seriously impressive. If those were 39 twenty year olds it would be expected. There's no reason to expect that the 39 would have a similar age distribution to the population because it's not a random sample.
