Thanks - that makes me feel better about how they define mild, and thanks for the direct reference. Earlier in the pandemic mild was being used to mean only not hospitalized.

I don’t mean to come across as overconfident, is my understanding of efficacy wrong? Or the purpose of control groups? I’m happy to be wrong or corrected.
The speculation comes from the efficacy numbers and the results in Israel - is there a reason to dismiss those?
Edit: Reading the Pfizer results from here (https://www.fda.gov/media/144245/download https://www.fda.gov/media/144245/download) it seems like fewer moderate/severe cases of covid in the vaccinated population when compared to J&J (taking into account both of their placebo groups)? I’m not sure if I’m reading these correctly, but the docs don’t seem to contradict my impression that the mRNA vaccines are better.
