I need to correct some misinformation with this thread. Forgive me if I am late, I just saw this thread.
All of these places are giving great success numbers, but I can't find out who the groups are they are testing. If they tested 100 % at risk people and had a 90% rate I would be impressed, but if they are testing a general population from 18 to ? and healthy individuals , the norm would probably be that without medicine? Figures never lie , but liars figure! I know one thing, I don't trust Big Pharma, just look at Roundup if you want a reason to be wary. They are paying off lawsuits for Roundup causing cancer ,yet it is still for sale in the US.
The age range for the Pfizer trial wasn't explicitly stated, however in the phase 2/3 trial 1,712 people were over the age of 75. Good news is efficacy didn't change with age.
Pfizer did include comorbidities (high risk) in their phase 2/3 trial. They were as follows:
Obesity- 35.1% of trial participants
Diabetes- 8.4% of trial participants
Pulmonary disease (lung diseases)- 7.8%
Moderna also included people with diabetes, chronic lung disease, obesity, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, and HIV. They don't give a break down of how many people per comorbidity.
The ages for the Moderna trial aren't given, however they enrolled 7,026 participants over the age of 65.
Here is the full data set for Pfizer:
Here is the FDA's briefing book on Pfizer's vaccine:

No data is being hidden and it is there for your viewing pleasure. There is a stark difference between placebo and vaccinated groups. Just look as the graphs in the links above. As you say, figures don't lie. The data is there. Briankenobi is correct in his statement about glyphosate. See my responses below.
A lot more to the roundup story than people know. Way more people who use roundup don't have cancer then do, and that's assuming they got it from roundup. Many of these "fill in the blank causes cancer" studies are bogus. They test things at extremely high concentrations. Concentrations that would never occur in real life applications. Same with artificial sweeteners causing cancer. It's bogus research. I have a chemistry degree so I know what I am talking about.
As far as the vaccine is concerned, I will let others get it before me. Not that I am against vaccines or anything. I am young and healthy and have already had covid. If it gets to the point where I need to take it and its been out for a few years, then rolling my shirt sleeve up.
You a are absolutely correct about glyphosate and roundup. FYI, I have a Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry. One point I try to make to everyone I talk to is that the dose makes the poison. It doesn't matter what the substance is, it will kill you if you take it in high enough doses. Even water.
If you drink too much water, you can flush all the electrolytes out of your body causing your brain to swell, which could lead to death.
Here is a case study where a woman died from water intoxication:

Are you going to stop drinking water? I didn't think so. FYI, some of the most toxic substances on this earth are natural and derived from nature.
Pass.
We’ve been “back in pool” since August, but if a rushed-to-market vaccine with no more than a few months of testing under its belt is what it takes to get you out of your house, I’m genuinely happy for you.
These vaccines weren't developed overnight. Try more like 20 years. Part of the reason these vaccines were developed so fast is because they benefitted from years of vaccine research on SARS-CoV-1 and MERS, both of which are coronaviruses:
Developing effective and safe vaccines is urgently needed to prevent infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)–associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV). The inactivated SARS-CoV vaccine may be the first one available for clinical use because ...

The emergence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) that resulted in a pandemic in 2003 spurred a flurry of interest in the development of vaccines to prevent and treat the potentially deadly viral infection. Researchers around the world pooled ...

Here is an article explaining how those vaccine efforts help SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) vaccine development:
The emergence of the strain of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) and its impact on global health have made imperative the development of effective and safe vaccines for this lethal strain. SARS-CoV-2 now adds to ...
