    From memory, so suspect, AZ was 73% and J&J 66-72%.
    How contagious are they?

    I don't think vaccines are contagious, would solve a lot of problems if they were

    Only 80% effectiveness against death? ( yes, yes compared with the control group....)

    I have not seen any data to support this for both vaccines. Have you?

    Without any vaccines I don't think there is a high probability of causing someone's death in Hong Kong so unless you are suggesting the vaccines make things worse?

    I assume your questions are directed towards the SinoVac thingy that is being used in Hong Kong and elsewhere.

    The EU has started what they call "rolling tests" or something like that. We should have some data in the next couple of months I guess? Would their numbers be more credible that the ones currently in circulation?

    I have not seen any numbers in circulation in estimated reduction of transmissibility.

    The BioNtech vaccine reduces your chances of catching COVID by 95%, if you don't have it you can't transmit it. Everybody in compulsory quarantine has a negative test, or they'd be sent to the hospital instead. No COVID + plus low chance if catching it = illegal imprisonment in my book.

    5% chance of displaying any symptoms of having caught it

    Please tell me you don't at this stage think that this is what the 95% efficacy number means ie, a 5% chance of displaying any symptoms....
