The real-world data they have shows 100% protection compared to placebo in the trial. That's all the number means. Would you prefer they round down to 99% for you?


I'd prefer they focus on doing research with actual data & figures that actually matter. And getting it right while at it.

IMO the 100% effective xxx was absolutely unnecessary. It becomes easy for anyone to tear down this report. AZ aren't helping themselves with such claims.

Also prefer they round off nothing. Report your data as-is. Majority of the people aren't stupid. They don't need your loose interpretations nor any nudges. Certainly not from the vax manufacturer.
