Tedros Adhanom, chief of the WHO tribe, is enthusiastic about vaccines.
There’s obviously a financial incentive to fueling the coronavirus panic.
If everyone realized that coronavirus is literally just the flu, all of these vaccine projects would end up being a huge and shameful waste of money, time, effort and resources.
There are more than 70 vaccines for COVID-19 currently in development, with three leading candidates, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
All three – one from the Beijing Institute of Biotechnology with Hong Kong’s CanSino Bio and two from companies in the US – are currently undergoing human trials, a list published by WHO this weekend shows.
Another 67 vaccines, developed by scientists worldwide including teams from the UK, are also working towards trials in humans.
…
The drug industry is hoping to shorten the time it takes to get a vaccine to market – usually about 10 to 15 years – to within the next year, Bloomberg reports.
But public health officials say it will still take a year to 18 months to fully validate any potential vaccine – despite human trials beginning.
Whatever “fully validate” means, the countries under lockdown right now face two choices:
- Extend the lockdown for more than a year until the vaccine is fully validated
- Start injecting people with a vaccine that isn’t fully validated
We’ve already heard experts and officials mention the idea of intermittent lockdowns or straight-up extending the lockdown for months, so this is shaping up to be a kind of situation where people who are tired of social isolation and lockdown craziness will be promised a normal life through a vaccine.
If and when that time comes, remember that:
- Coronavirus’ mortality rate may be similar to that of the flu
- It may even be lower than that of the flu
Don’t fall for the hoax.
