One must also take into account the fact that when the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines were tested, the South African, U.K., and Brazilian variants didn’t exist. In the J&J trial they were dominant. As a result they are not comparable. The J&J vaccine had 0 cases of severe disease in the treatment arm and that really is the statistic one is looking for.[1]
