Is it common practice to measure effectiveness in this way?
They only evaluated ~90 of their 30000 test group, and out of that tiny sliver of the data there were more in the placebo group that got covid than the vaccinated group. My questions would be:
Does their small subset have the same number of vaccinated vs placebo? Are the ~90 evaluated cases representative of the whole group, or are they only from one area or health profile? How long have they followed this group?
It still seems like this early on in the study you could cherry pick the data to show any amount of effectiveness that you want.
