The company, a state-controlled firm called Sinopharm, said that a vaccine candidate had proved to be 79 percent effective in interim Phase 3 trials. Sinopharm said it filed an application with Chinese regulators to allow the vaccine to be used broadly.

Me: A vaccine which is said to be 79% effective is less than another vaccine which is said to be 95% effective, bearing in mind you get an injection, from either one or the other. Same discomfort, different result.
