Are there studies showing the difference in efficacy between different vaccines for different races? I read an article about at least one vaccine having lower efficacy for Asians than for white people, but I can't find the study anymore. I ask because I'm trying to determine which vaccine I should get.

Didn’t the LD/SD show a greater efficacy before they recognized their dosing issue?

Just wondering . . . .

yes they did! the problem is this was a mistake so there weren’t enough people to be statistically confident. also, this mistake as only made for those younger than 55, so there are lots of limitations to this mistake. i think they have already started trials, though, to test this in more detail
