But, that 158 that did contract Covid after being fully vaccinated did not experience severe symptoms and require hospitalization and did not die. That is my understanding of the efficacy rating of 94% with Moderna and 95% with Pfizer in the trials.

Am I understanding those efficacy ratings incorrectly?
