I didn't mean to imply that the risks are the same. The 95% number is in my comment. I'm not sure how, exactly that's measured. I'm just explaining the logic

I didn't mean to imply that the risks are the same. The 95% number is in my comment. I'm not sure how, exactly that's measured. I'm just explaining the logic. It's ok if you don't agree, but the parent legitimately seemed to not understand the argument.

The number was measured by giving a placebo to X number of people and the vaccine to X number of people. Then you find out that Y number of people with the placebo got COVID, and Z number of people with the vaccine got COVID. Compare Y and Z to get the effectiveness. I think X was like 10,000 or more.
