Seems the Vaccine could be a lot less effective than suggested by Pfizer, a medical journal published some information on how the numbers could be way off, pfizer Study had about 3410 total cases of suspected, but unconfirmed cases, which 1594 were in the group who were vaccinated. There were 20 times more suspected cases in the study than confirmed cases.

"With 20 times more suspected than confirmed cases, this category of disease cannot be ignored simply because there was no positive PCR test result. Indeed this makes it all the more urgent to understand. A rough estimate of vaccine efficacy against developing covid-19 symptoms, with or without a positive PCR test result, would be a relative risk reduction of 19% (see footnote)—far below the 50% effectiveness threshold for authorization set by regulators. Even after removing cases occurring within 7 days of vaccination (409 on Pfizer’s vaccine vs. 287 on placebo), which should include the majority of symptoms due to short-term vaccine reactogenicity, vaccine efficacy remains low: 29% (see footnote)."
Nobody is being honest in this race, labs are not fully disclosing numbers and we might get a vaccine that does very little.
