Covid vaccine: Sputnik safest, Pfizer's shot worst? Row over Hungary data

According to this, Russia’s Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine has been recognised as the safest and most efficient vaccine, while Pfizer performs the worst. Accurate conclusions cannot be drawn from the table since it ignores multiple conditions that would level the playing field of its variables, and allow for the valid comparison of vaccine types, according to a report in Hungary Today.
