Three different headlines, three different efficacy percentages (89%, 90%, and now 85%), all of which originate from Pfizer's own studies. Color me dubious.

- shusaku 5y agoI also found the article a little hard to parse, but after a close read it seems that the 85% is the whole trial, and 89% is for people who got the drug within three days.
- spywaregorilla 5y agoThe differences in these percentages are all trivially small and explained in the article. 85% is the overall view; 89% is on the sub population treated within 3 days of symptom onset; and 90% appears to be an editorialized "almost" approximation from news agencies. Fuck off with this fud.
