[FRIAM] Could this possibly be true?

[Pieter Steenekamp]

In the Phizer report "Six Month Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA
COVID-19 Vaccine" (
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.28.21261159v1.full.pdf) , I
picked up the following:

"During the blinded, controlled period, 15 BNT162b2 and 14 placebo
recipients died"

Does this mean the Phizer vaccine did not result in fewer total deaths in
the vaccinated group compared to the placebo unvaccinated group?

I sort of can't believe this, I obviously miss something.

But of course, there are clear benefits in that the reported vaccine
efficacy was 91.3%
