Pfizer, November 9: "our vaccine is 90% effective."
Russia, Gamalei, November 11: "our vaccine is 92% effective."
Moderna, November 16: "our vaccine is 94.5% effective."
Pfizer, again, November 18: "our vaccine is 95% effective."
A typical flu vaccine is between 40% and 60% effective and it takes 5-10 years to develop. Do you think that something is fishy? Here is a couple of facts:
"Industry-funded trials reported positive outcomes in 85.4% of publications, compared with 50.0% for government-funded trials and 71.9% for nonprofit or nonfederal organization-funded trials (P < 0.001)."

"The percentage of studies sponsored by drug companies increased from 25% in 1992 to 57% in 2002. Favorable outcomes were significantly more common in studies sponsored by the drug manufacturer (78%) than in studies without industry sponsorship (48%) or sponsored by a competitor (28%)."

"Studies sponsored by pharmaceutical companies were more likely to have outcomes favouring the sponsor than were studies with other sponsors (odds ratio 4.05; 95% confidence interval 2.98 to 5.51; 18 comparisons)."
