Among 44,486 evaluable participants, irrespective of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, 81 COVID-19 cases were observed among vaccine and 873 among placebo recipients.
of those
COVID-19: 0 BNT162b2 vs 2 for placebo
COVID-19: pneumonia 1 for BNT162b2 vs 0 for placebo
Cardiac arrest: 4 for BNT162b2 vs 1 for placebo
but despite these, it seems there is no statistically significant effect on fatality either way
As for Adverse Events, after reading this:
Adverse event analyses during the blinded period are provided for 43,847 ≥16-year-olds . Reactogenicity events among participants not in the reactogenicity subset are reported as adverse events, resulting in imbalances in adverse events (30% vs 14%), related adverse events (24% vs 6%), and severe adverse events (1.2% vs 0.7%) between BNT162b2 and placebo groups. Decreased appetite, lethargy, asthenia, malaise, night sweats, and hyperhidrosis were new adverse events attributable to BNT162b2 not previously identified in earlier reports.
I wouldn't even want the placebo !
But then they contacted all the placebo people and offered them the Vx. 95% of the placebo recipients in the UK then accepted the offer. I imagine roughly the same amount accepted in other regions - they went for the Vx after all.
So the placebo group has been destroyed so there will be no 1 year study, or 3 year study, 5 year, 10 year etc.
That's simple.
