The results are by controlled test groups. Give 5,000 people the vaccine and another 5,000 a placebo and compare the two groups at the end of a trial period. The comparisons of those in each group who did not get the virus, those who got it but no symptoms, those who got it with mild symptoms, those who developed a serious illness, and those who died gives a good idea of how effective that vaccine is.
Just got word that a casual neighbor 3 houses away recently died from covid. Older guy but I never knew of any health issues.
We got our J&J shot last Saturday. Other than a little sore arm neither of us had any other issues. And don’t have to worry about a 2nd shot.
