WTF? Pfizer only 75% efficacy for Asians? Pfizer ottakus in tears

FDA's staff report broke down the trial data by age, gender, race, ethnicity, and more, and its conclusions were extremely encouraging: "[Vaccine efficacy] point estimates were uniformly high across the subgroups examined."

There are two small caveats. The study enrolled only limited numbers of people from certain minority groups, making it impossible to draw statistically significant conclusions. For instance, FDA found the vaccine was 74% effective among Asian study participants—which at a glance might look a lot lower than its 95% effectiveness in the broader population.

1% effective is also good if it gives you a peace of mind. Makes you feel you're one step closer to a 'return to normalcy' after doing your part. :wink:

What exactly the fuck does 74% efficacy mean ?
- Out of 100 infected people, only 74 people will be cured ?
- The vaccine will only kill 74% of the Wuhan virus in your body ?
- There is a 26% chance of the Wuhan virus will return ?
