All cause mortality: 21 died in vaccine arm, 17 in placebo arm.
You may argue the numbers are very small, but (a) that's not trivial to state; (b) there is no evidence the pfizer vaccine reduces all cause mortality in a controlled trial - on the contrary, and (c) one may disregard all cause mortality and only care about corona mortality, but in that case (c1) the numbers are too small (1:2) and easily proven to be meaningless, and (c2) it's a bad metric, since -- taken ad absurdum -- a cyanide shot achieves 100% reduction in corona death.
