The Moderna Phase 3 COVE study enrolled >30 000 subjects. The score for severe COVID illness or death = 30 in the placebo group, zero in the vaccine group.
The Pfizer Phase 2/3 studies enrolled 36 253 subjects. The score for severe COVID illness = 9 in the placebo group and 1 in the vaccine group.
Both of these results were highly statistically significant and form the basis for the Emergency Use Authorizations of 12/11 and 12/18.
Thank you. WeâÂÂve been looking at one of the sources in the article I posted. Source 9,the FDA pdf of study results. IâÂÂm learning how to read it as a result of comments to this post. It is still confusing to me. It looks as though the study participants were tested after 7 days and then beyond that they are only listing suspected Covid, which makes me think they didnâÂÂt retest them at later points. Otherwise why would it be called suspected Covid? (P. 42) Additionally I donâÂÂt know what to make of the graph on p. 30 (figure 2). What is that showing? Cases or symptoms? And the third and final question, also from p. 30, were there only four severe cases out of the >30,000? Sorry, itâÂÂs a lot, but you seem to have a good handle on this study. Thanks. HereâÂÂs the link. https://www.fda.gov/media/144245/download
