Typical journalism: "OMG OUT OF 32,000 PEOPLE VAXED, JUST ONE GOT SEVERE COVID!"

...leaving you to imagine hundreds of unvaxed getting terribly sick and dying.

Reality: only 10 people got severe covid in the Pfizer trial, _in total_. 9 with placebos, 1 with the vaccine. For Moderna, the numbers are 11 severe cases with placebos, 0 or 1 with vax (possible false positive).

...and severe didn't even mean hospitalization! Out of 21 "severe" cases, just 8 were hospitalized. No deaths.
