The likes of Pfizer as I see it are just a legal form of criminal. They are not a caring drug company they are after big bucks. Tick box attitude to get their performance related bonuses.

Ps for an accuracy of 1% with a confidence factor of 95% requires a count of 10,000.
On 10,000 persons that would indicate 495 to 505 people are not protected. 1 in 20
5% of the population equates to around 3.5 million.
A vaccine at best is only one method over a long period of time to keep the virus at bay. That is if it works as they say it does.
No side affects of course. As for how long it lasts is anyones guess.
Limiting the spread via the use of a mask is one of the best forms to limit spread. When someone sneezes a vapour is realeased around half a billion droplets invisible to the naked eye, In an enclosed environment these droplets can stay airbourne for anything up to 2 hrs.
A form of treatment for those that develop bad symptoms also needs to be developed.
How ever good a vaccine is, it will just never be good enough on its own.
