This is BS. What we have are encouraging preliminary tests made by the creator of the vaccine.
Before we can trust it it needs to be confronted to the real world.
Multiple cases of people getting infected despite having the first shot and multiple cases of suspect deaths don't inspire confidence the vaccine is as good as touted.
- welterde 6y agoThe vaccines being distributed in the US and EU have both completed _three_ stages of trials run under quite strict conditions (the only change being that parts of these trials were run in parallel instead of sequentially - see fig 1 from [1]). People getting sick after only receiving the first shot is fully expected. The efficacy of the Biontech vaccine was only 54% after the first shot and only rose to 94% after the second. And notice that it is not 100%.. so you would still expect some people to get infected after the second shot.. just much fewer cases.
