Even worse than that, per somebody experienced with statistics.

Holy hell, FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn's grasp of statistics is alarming. A 35% reduction in mortality does NOT mean that if 100 people get covid-19 and are treated with convalescent plasma, then 35 lives will be saved.

Apparently, the data referred to is equivalent to giving plasma to 100 patients, and 3 surviving versus no plasma and 2 surviving.
