科興疫苗有效率出爐：78%。
然而，美國CDC的流行病學專家 Denise Garrett很快指出Butantan的語言偽術：「他們展示的是輕度、中度和重度病症的結果，而不是預防感染的有效率。」
如果不是經他這麼說，也不會翻看原話。發言人真的沒有講過疫苗預防感染的有效率達78%，而是強調疫苗可以保護受感染的患者達到78%：「The Butantan vaccine has a range of efficacy that goes from 78% to 100% in mild, moderate and severe cases.」
「The vaccine protected 100% of the participants in relation to severe COVID-19 cases. It protected 100% of the participants in relation to moderate cases in the high-risk population. Not even a single volunteer of those who received the vaccine, required to be admitted at a hospital. Mild cases were prevented at a 78% rate with some 22% of participants requiring outpatient care after showing mild symptoms of COVID-19.」
78%是不用入院的有效率？
記者追問，他們才公報12476人受試，218人確診，160人屬安慰組。
即是58名患者屬疫苗組，然後說疫苗在他們身上的有效率在78%-100%之間？
但願是他們表達錯誤。《Science》的報道計算真正的有效率應該是73%：
//But when pressed by journalists, he allowed that there were 218 cases of mild disease. “The exact number is 160 something in the placebo group and less than 60 in the vaccinated group,” he said. (This would equal 73%, not 78%, efficacy.) //
