Would a statistician kindly go over this data and give your thoughts on efficacy of the vaccine?

Remember that the vaccine makers have a different measure of efficacy than common sense ones like "prevents transmission" or "reduces deaths." They have instead Relative Risk Reduction and Absolute Risk Reduction. This is estimate of how many people have to be vaccinated to prevent another case vs. how many cases were prevented. In the beginning obviously they couldn't measure things like the vaccine losing effectiveness and so were boasting of "95% efficiency." Numbers are a lot different now but not a lot clearer because of testing faults and changing definitions. If you know anything about statisticians you will know there is contention over everything. Here are a couple of articles. We won't sort this out while Big Pharma is driving the narrative, if ever. But we still need to collect all data.
