Claims a 90% success rate in placebo controlled trial, based on 164 people getting COVID-19
This apparently means that of those getting injected who got infected
- 16 (10% of 164) of the infected people had gotten the vaccine
- 145 (90% of 164) of the infected people had gotten the placebo
Problems
- Vaccine only starts to work 1 month after first shot, if get 2nd shot 3 weeks after first
- Trial only considered people who got symptoms and then tested positive for COVID-19
- Do not know how many become infected but were asymptomatic
- Do Not know if vaccine reduces COVID-19 severity or death
- Vaccine must be stored at extremely cold temperatures (-94 degrees)
