The numbers for Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna will be more believable when they are verified by an independent double blind placebo controlled study.

I have not seen an independent study like this yet, and big pharma has a track record or non-reproducibility that is the cornerstone of science.

Until that time, I will prefer my own natural antibodies after covid.

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.

Like we’re supposed to believe that a vaccine confers better immunity than the actual disease?

Not buying it.
