@stkirsch brought up an important point in his @US_FDA vaccine advisory committee presentation.
Why is Pfizer excluding 311 people in its vaccine arm, but only 60 for "protocol deviations"?
That's very odd, indeed. No explanation is given...

In it's efficiacy calculation Pfizer mentions 8 vs 162 infections, arriving at at VE of 95%. That's correct, but let's assume all or some of those excluded might have been either infected or injured... How would VE look then?
Including all 311-60=251 additional protocol deviations from the vaccine arm, into the calcuation we arrive at -61% VE. Yes negative!
To arrive at 0% VE, about 60% or 153 need to be included.
For the CDC minimum of 50% VE, only 29% or 73 people would be needed.
So did Pfizer hide some infections or adverse events in this group?
What's the explanation for 4.2x more protocol deviations in the vaccine arm?
