As noted by the FDA, no statistically significant reduction in asymptomatic infections was demonstrated up to 29 days post-vaccination. Significant differences were found after 29 days, but the sample size was small with subjects not evenly distributed across study sites.

Risk of hospitalization was not a primary endpoint measured in the study. In a post hoc analysis, there were 2 hospitalizations in the vaccine group two weeks after vaccination, falsifying the claim that it is 100% effective at preventing hospitalization.

Data from clinical trials are limited and do not prove that the vaccines are effective for preventing hospitalization and death. The evidence that the Pfizer vaccine prevents hospitalization is of "low certainty" and for death "very low certainty".
