Michael Kincch: There is a risk of "obsolescence" Vaccine from COVID-19

Most experts from the scientific world and medicine representatives cannot call the exact date of the end of the pandemic, because New strains of COVID-19 appear, which are much more dangerous than previous versions of the virus.

The most effective way to reduce the number of infected coronavirus is the vaccination of the population, but a number of experts expresses their concerns associated with future virus mutations, which can lead to a decrease in vaccine efficiency.

With a new statement regarding the danger of the emergence of new strains of COVID-19, the Vaccinologist of the University of Washington in St. Louis Michael Kincch. He said the following:

"The concerns of many specialists from the scientific world is possible in the possible obsolescence of vaccines, so it is already important now to begin to take measures and develop new mechanisms to combat COVID-19"

Michael Kishch is confident that the vaccine developers are already able to think about a possible decrease in the effectiveness of such type drugs in a few months, starting to develop other, more efficient vaccines in which the potential will be laid to combat the virus mutations. The expert does not exclude the possibility of developing other methods to combat a pandemic, if necessary to normalize the situation with the number of infections in the world.

Many world scientists agreed with the opinion of Kinch about the danger of the emergence of new mutations, including Andrew Pollard from Oxford University. Pollard noted that many vaccine manufacturers against coronavirus do not understand what strains may appear in the future, and whether existing vaccines can be effective against new strains.

"The human immunity is able to influence the coronavirus mutations, so in the future, more dangerous virus strains may appear. None of the scientists can say that the virus behaves in a few months."

World scholar recommended to start thinking out new ways of fighting a pandemic, because Some experts are confident in the onset of the third wave of the epidemic, which can begin in the next couple of months, although there are no weighty prerequisites for this.

Recall that during the world coronavirus epidemic, more than 2.3 million people died, and the total number of registered cases of people infection about the world exceeded the mark of 108 million people. In these statistics, cases of asymptomatic diseases are not taken into account, as well as people who refused to give a coronavirus test or the presence of antibodies after recovery.
