I’m not a statistics guru nor an epidemiologist, but given the limited data I’ve seen I consider the immunity data neither accurate nor precise. The first thing a person in a science course learns is propagation of errors also called significant figures. When I see numbers like 94.5% effective I just have to laugh. Three sig figs? no way. Lucky if they have one.

and how quickly MDs genuflect before them and make the sign of the cross.
