Sure, but we do have prior probabilities based on other vaccination campaigns and studies. We also have some understanding of the causal mechanism of this vaccine, so there is other evidence. It’s just not a direct randomized control. People fixate on statistical testing under randomized control, but there’s a lot more information out there that can be used to assess probabilities.

Given that we've never before studied an mRNA vaccine, how do any of the numerous other studies apply to either the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine?
