🔥 Finally we have evidence, how Pfizer came to calculate a 95% vaccine efficacy!
Real efficacy is likely only 19%, with a very bad side effect profile of up to 0.8% severe side effects, as reported by German Hospital Study Charité!

Of course, in reality one must include the confirmed COVID-19 cases as well, which would yield:
VE = ((1816+162)-(1594+8))/(1816+162) = 19.0%
So overall, we have strong reasons to believe that the vaccine might be just 19% effective in preventing COVID-19, but...

A recent study from Germany's top hospital Charité Berlin, revealed that about 0.8% of vaccinated suffer "severe long-term side effects".
So it becomes quite clear that the cost/benefit overall is very likely there, given the fairly large chance of severe side effects, compared to other vaccines!

Small addendum & correction, since Twitter still doesn't have an edit button:
3. post: "Pfizer did NOT test patients for COVID-19 *up to 7 days after vaccination*, unless the investigator suspected COVID-19, and not vaccine side effects."

Summarized:
Pfizer encouraged to generally not test for COVID-19 up to 7 days after each vaccination.
It would have just taken 154 patients to bring VE to 0%.
That represents just 3.1% ( `(162-8)/(2421+2627)` ) of vaccinated patients that experienced any vaccine side effect!
