Moderna trial results. While it has been some time since I had statistics as an undergrad, I believe the correct interpretation of 95% effectiveness level (what Moderna reported) is that your probability of becoming infected is reduced by 20x. It isn't entirely clear to me whether a "positive" result in the Moderna trial required evidence of "disease", which I will call the observable symptoms of an infection, and a positive PCR test or if simply the detection of symptomless infection by a PCR test was sufficient for a "positive" result. Regardless, since they reported statistical results you are looking at probabilities.
