- Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine news is a press release not a study. No raw data to review, limited transparency, basic questions unanswered, 94 cases, and an overreaction focusing on the claim of 90% efficacy. Validated evidence required to justify the hype.
- Hope? Sure, but tone down the touting of experimental Pfizer drug to treat early Covid that hasn’t completed its 60-person phase 1 trial. And Miami private school ban on Covid-19-vaccinated teachers enters the pantheon of the Bizarro World.
