Randomized placebo-controlled trial.
Of either BNT162b2 (BioNTech/Pfizer), given intramuscularly in two 30-mcg doses 21 days apart (n = 21 720 received vaccine), or saline placebo (n = 21 728).

“ A two-dose regimen of BNT162b2 conferred 95% protection against Covid-19 in persons 16 years of age or older.”


BUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!?!

Does it mean that if we inject everyone that only 5% of the population will get covid19?
