In May of 2020, I tried to tell three people about the Pfizer numbers you mentioned (162 placebo, 8 vaccinated); numbers easily found on Pfizer’s corporate website. One said it was too confusing for her to do the required 30 seconds of math, another said “Well, that was last year—we have more information now,” and the third offered a word salad of canned talking points. I never mentioned it to anyone again after that. It was like trying to tell someone that their partner is cheating on on them when the person really, really does not want to know.

As I understand it, “efficacy” has a more precise meaning in the context of a clinical trial. It describes how well a drug performs IN A CLINICAL TRIAL. By this definition, the Pfizer jab was 100% efficacious in pregnant women, for example, and all other vulnerable populations that were vetted, culled, or otherwise prevented from participating in the trial. Not to mention those that were eliminated from the trial when they got sick.

Placebo effect, like nocebo effect, are real phenomenon. They have real world impacts. Their impact in this plandemic should not be underestimated.
