Correct me if I'm wrong but they ran 2 tests, and if you give someone a half a dose, wait a while then give a full dose, it's 90% effective? So calling 70% is

Correct me if I'm wrong but they ran 2 tests, and if you give someone a half a dose, wait a while then give a full dose, it's 90% effective?
So calling 70% is inaccurate?

- leoedin 6y agoYeah, this seems to be an average of 2 different dosing regimes, one of which was 90% effective.

- f0ff 6y agoFrom the article: "There is also intriguing data that suggests perfecting the dose could increase protection up to 90%."
- karmasimida 6y agoI am curious about the up to 90% claim, what doest this mean? Isn't it 90% or not?
- jonplackett 6y agoYeah it’s funny language isn’t it. Like a sale that’s ‘up to half price’.
