If I go to the actual study, and read Figure 2 graph C, it says 149 more unvaccinated got hospitalized with Covid. Out of 596,618 people. So we should run out and get an experimental aborted-fetus-tested shot for a .025% chance of being hospitalized?!?! Am I reading that figure correctly?
This is similar to the Pfizer Phase 3: 8 extra out of 21500 = .037%.
You're missing the important part. That difference happened over 6 weeks while the vaccinated people were building immunity.
At the end of that period there were no more new hospitalizations in the vaccinated group while in the other group they would continue to grow unabated. Over time the difference would be thousands and eventually tens of thousands.
I agree this would be a lot of fuss for a 6 week pandemic, but that isn't what we have.
