Just read this elsewhere.. Surely their interpretation of the Lancet med journal text must be wrong??
The Lancet Reveals Deception: Covid-19 Vaccine Efficiency is 1.2% NOT 90-95%

The Lancet
The Lancet is a weekly peer-reviewed general medical journal. It is among the world's oldest and best-known general medical journals. It was founded in 1823 by Thomas Wakley, an English surgeon who named it after the surgical instrument called a lancet.
Although the RRR considers only participants who could benefit from the vaccine, the absolute risk reduction (ARR), which is the difference between attack rates with and without a vaccine, considers the whole population. ARRs tend to be ignored because they give a much less impressive effect size than RRRs: 1·3% for the AstraZeneca–Oxford, 1·2% for the Moderna–NIH, 1·2% for the J&J, 0·93% for the Gamaleya, and 0·84% for the Pfizer–BioNTech vaccines.
So RRR data measures 95% efficacy but the ARR (actual risk reduction) measures only 1.2?
Cannot be correct, surely?
