New statement: AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine 76% effective in updated U.S. trial results

After results are questioned, AstraZeneca says complete data shows its vaccine is still highly effective.

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/03/24/world/covid-vaccine-coronavirus-cases#after-results-are-questioned-astrazeneca-says-complete-data-shows-its-vaccine-is-still-highly-effective

AstraZeneca reiterated on Wednesday that its Covid-19 vaccine was very effective at preventing the disease, based on more recent data than was included when the company announced the interim results of its U.S. clinical trial on Monday.

The company said in a news release that its vaccine was 76 percent effective at preventing Covid-19. That is slightly lower than the efficacy number that the company announced earlier this week.

U.S. health officials and an oversight board accused AstraZeneca of presenting potentially misleading information

Tue, 2021-03-23 15:57 — mike kraft

Federal health officials and an independent oversight board accused AstraZeneca of presenting the world with potentially misleading information about the effectiveness of the company’s Covid-19 vaccine, an extraordinary blow to the credibility of a company whose product has been seen as critical to the global fight against the pandemic.

In a two-page letter to AstraZeneca and federal authorities on Monday, an independent panel of medical experts that was helping oversee the vaccine’s clinical trial in the United States said the company had essentially cherry-picked data that was “most favorable for the study as opposed to the most recent and most complete.”
