Scientists surveyed by Bloomberg, believe that the first vaccine against a coronavirus, which appears on the market, will not help to stop the spread of COVID-19.
According to Professor Imperial College London Robin Sattara, the first vaccines are likely to be of limited scope, given that the government and scientists are trying as soon as possible to release them to fight the pandemic.
And then the main question will be, what the most important characteristics for vaccines: “Protection from contamination? Or protection from disease? Or protection from severe symptoms? It is likely that extremely useful vaccine that protects only against severe symptoms of the disease,” said Professor Shattock.
“the Vaccine must protect from the disease itself, and not necessarily from infection,” — said immunologist American pharmaceutical companies Scripps Research.
according to the Agency, even willing and long-used vaccine does not give 100% guarantee that people will not become infected with a contagious disease, from which he was vaccinated. For example, 3% measles vaccinated people still get sick and she can infect others.
“I believe that people, after you inoculate, you will think: “Now I can get back to normal, everything will be all right,” said an expert on drug development and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Washington in Saint Louis Michael Kinch.— Not everyone will realize that they can still be carriers of the disease.”
