19%??!! is that what they're saying? damn.. a placebo has better results.

I could only find claims it's 95% effective but that's Pfizer claiming that.

I'm not sure where the 19% figure is coming from. Pfizer claims via an unreviewed study that theirs is 95% but that's generally considered optimistic at least, if not greatly exaggerated. Which I may add that the Pfizer funded rushed vaccine efficacy "study" boosted their stock price quite a bit. No one knows for sure how much it does or doesn't work..or long term side effects.

Interesting read. Shows how easy it is to manipulate data and statistics to say what you want it to.

According to the raw data it looks like the effectiveness is 19% instead of 90% or 95%
