Hardly new. When it was being touted at 90% that was the logic. Moderna doing the same with theirs.
I don't know if this is standard trial vaccine data presentation though, nor if any additional factors are worked into the data, consideration of individual social circumstances over the period etc.
I suspect yes to the former (or hope it's yes and that people aren't given a trial vaccine and then deliberately infected with whatever), and possibly to the latter.
Edit..just saw your edit...obviously! But the ethics around that!
