- layer8 6y ago“5% of those who took the vaccine developed covid19 symptoms” is somewhat misleading. Rather, for a vaccine and a placebo group of the same size, the number of people in the vaccine group who developed covid19 symptoms (only 0.037% of that group) was 5% the number of people in the placebo group who developed covid19 symptoms (0.74% of that group).
- rualca 6y ago> “5% of those who took the vaccine developed covid19 symptoms” is somewhat misleading. You misquoted me for some reason. I explicitly stated that "only 5% of those who took the vaccine contracted and developed covid19 symptoms when compared with the placebo group." This is a direct quote of what I actually said, which bears no resemblance to your comment.
