Unfortunately, redacting the number of doses makes this entire survey less than useless.

Which on the one hand, is sketchy at hell… why would you ever redact that info in the first place? But given that they have redacted it, there’s no functional way to interpret these numbers

Even with a big denominator, I’m guessing they aren’t thrilled with the prospect of the population getting to look into their morbidity/mortality calculations.

“We figured x number of people would die and x number would suffer a serious reaction.”

I’m not defending them. Just speculating.

Yes there is. You can compare proportions of events occuring within the study to what would be expected normally outside the study. Like the miscarriage stats of this are well within what's expected outside of the study.

what's important is if the adverse events in the trial differ from outside the trial.
