Extraordinary, moving story. This line “I asked Eddie to give me one minute to think,’” Zhang recalls. “Then I said ok.” had me in tears.
One minor technical point: the 0 serious cases in the vaccine arm are consistent at the conventional 95% confidence level with an expectation value up to ~3. And the other mRNA vaccine did have 1 serious case out of 10. Overall 1/40 for the two combined. So very likely this will also have an excellent but not 100% effect on reducing serious cases.
This article is not only inspiring and exciting it also raises the question of the ethics behind medical scientists waiting to disclose important information whether for $ profit or for advantages of holding info until publication.
It's a very important story to tell, and I didn't know of it. Thank you.

Thank you. You're right, hopefully it will be close to 100% when all is said and done.
Thank you for telling this story
