But it�s actually less...the vaccines don�t work. The actual efficacy... hold on to your hats... is a mere:
AZ - 1.3%
Pfizer - 0.84%
Moderna - 1.2%
J&J - 1.2%
Pretty unimpressive, huh? Here's how to understand these figures. For J&J, it means this.
If you have a control group of 1000 people who didn't get vaccinated. If 20 caught COVID, then they have a 2% (20 out of 1000) chance as a group of catching it. Now, let's say a different group of 1000 people took the J&J vaccine. Later 8 people caught COVID. Their risk was 0.8%. The ARR is then 2% - 0.8% = 1.2%. The vaccine is really only helping 12 people out of every 1000 from catching COVID. Like I said, pretty unimpressive. Drug companies know this, so they use the RRR number.
In this case, RRR would be 12/20 = 60%. That sound much more impressive. 60% of the people who caught COVID without the vaccine wouldn't have caught it if they'd taken the vaccine. These are the numbers the media and drug companies are using. They are misleading, obviously.
360/600 = 60% (RRR) as well, but that corresponds to an 24% ARR, which is much more impressive in terms of protecting people. As you can see, understanding the numbers matters. Most people will not even think twice when presented with RRR numbers because they don't know they're being tricked.
