I read somewhere in the last couple days that studies involving the Moderna vaccine are showing better success against the Delta variant than Pfizer. I think the percentages I saw were somewhere in the 70s for Moderna and somewhere in the 40s for Pfizer.

Yeah I saw similar, Pfizer was originally 95% efficacy and dropped to 42% I think, while Moderna was originally 90% and dropped to 75% I think. Moderna's been doing MRNA since it's founding (hence the name, ModeRNA), while it's newer tech for Pfizer
