When I read Pfizer's first clinical trial document, I thought the efficacy rate was fake. Later, I learned that Pfizer had effectively made the FDA a subsidiary.
Relative Risk Reduction=Number of cases with Placebo - Number of cases among vaccinated people}/Number of cases with Placebo*100[%]
Absolute Risk Reduction = [1-{1-Placebo cases/Total number of Placebo patients}/{1-Vaccinated cases/Total number of vaccinated persons}]*100[%]
FDA uses RRR as the efficacy rate.
Number of people vaccinated: 21,500 people | 8 people who developed symptoms | 21,492 people who did not develop symptoms
Number of non-vaccinated people: 21,500 people | Symptoms: 162 people | Non-symptomatic people: 21,338 people on Pfizer's report.
Let's try a thought experiment here.
The efficacy rate is 95% even if the symptoms occur in 1,075 vaccinated people and 21,500 unvaccinated people.
If this is the case, 100% of individuals will develop the disease if they are not vaccinated, so the vaccination is meaningful and an efficacy rate of 95% is sufficient. Even if there are no quacks who are not vaccinated for two weeks after vaccination, 2 out of 162 people cannot be said to be 95% effective.
If calculated using the ARR formula, the absolute effectiveness rate is only 0.716%. If the FDA had publicized this, most people would have chosen not to be vaccinated.
Vaccines are used for healthy people, unlike drugs used for sick people, so it is fundamentally wrong to use RRR as the efficacy rate.
Due to the FDA and CDC's reputation decades ago, health authorities in various countries have a certain degree of trust in them. In the end, the biggest problem is that the FDA and CDC have been taken over by major pharmaceutical companies.
