Can you scientifically compare the effectiveness of different COVID-19 vaccines?
No. Not only is it unpractical to pass an approved COVID-19 vaccine just because there is a slight less effectiveness, doctors say this question misguided. “It's not an apple-to-apple comparison when you look at the data,” according to the senior vice president of consumer engagement at Novant Health Dr. Jerome Williams.
In the United States, there are two Covid 19 vaccines available from Pfizer / Biotech and Moderna. Both vaccines have a very high "efficacy rate" of 95 effic. But the third vaccine, introduced by Johnson and Johnson in the United States, has significantly lower efficacy rates: only 66%. It is natural to look at these numbers together, and conclude that one of them is very bad. Why settle for 66% when you have 95%? But this is not the correct way to understand the effectiveness of a vaccine or what a vaccine does. And public health experts say that if you really want to know which vaccine is best, the effectiveness is not the most important.
