The U.S. drugmaker shared a new analysis that showed the incidence of breakthrough Covid cases was less frequent in people who were more recently vaccinated.

The analysis hasn't been peer-reviewed yet.

The group, known as the agency's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, is scheduled to debate administering third doses of Pfizer and BioNTech's vaccine as federal health regulators say they need more time to review Moderna's application for extra doses. "If you take that number, which in the paper is roughly 28 cases per 1,000 person, and you extrapolate that across the 60 million Americans who've received that vaccine. The incremental number of cases of Covid-19 that would happen between here and the hospitals is about 600,000, more than half a million cases of Covid-19," he said.on whether to back booster shots of Pfizer's Covid vaccine, saying U.S. regulators haven't verified all the available evidence.

Why isn't this analysis done by an independent org? Seems disingenuous to have the company that makes said drug do it's own research. Like the police investigating themselves.

Bet they did. They’re gonna milk you like cows until you stand up

EXCLUSIVE WHO-backed vaccine hub for Africa to copy Moderna COVID-19 shotEfforts to develop an African base for COVID-19 vaccine production will focus on trying to replicate Moderna's shot, but a lack of progress in talks with the U.S. company mean the project will take time, a senior WHO official told Reuters. Now people are making bootleg vaccines because America won't share the research funded by the people.
