Elias Mosialos is excited about the results of the Pfizer vaccine, however he also looks at the “buts” that exist. Immunity in 60% of the population, the factor of the elderly and everything the professor said on the topic of the day.
Elías Mosialos spoke about the catastrophic events on the… front of the vaccines against the coronavirus, expressing his opinion on the expectations of the whole world.
The London School of Economics health policy professor spoke in Mega’s main newsletter. “We are very close. We have the interim report of the two companies that has not yet been analyzed. The result is very impressive, no one expected 90% efficiency to be advertised. “90% refers mainly to the very young, we have not been told if it is equally effective for the elderly and those with underlying diseases,” specifically said Mr. Mosialos.

“What we know from the vaccines that have been given to monkeys, we know that in some people who do it they do not transmit the disease, in others the viral load has been reduced, so even if the disease is transmitted it will not have the same intensity. We don’t know how much it will protect us. The weak point of the virus is that it does not mutate easily.He continued.
Show them up for the Pfizer vaccine
“There are two doses for this particular Pfizer vaccine. For the others that are in progress there is one dose. But this is the last thing we care about. It is a technical problem. We know the efficiency is very high, we think it will also be great for vulnerable groups, ”continued Mr. Mosialos.

“Ms. Kotanidou said that the vaccine will be safe as it will not get approval if there is any doubt that it will have significant side effects that will affect those who apply it.” If you receive any vaccinations, you may have a mild fever or mild pain. This is not one of the precautions we can take against the coronavirus. Clinical trials of this vaccine have not been interrupted due to side effects, as has been the case with other companies. “So far we have had nothing to worry about,” he explained.
Mosialos: “We are going for 60% immunity in the community but the vaccine must be voluntary”
“If the effectiveness of the vaccine is 80%, and 70% of the population does, we will have immunity in the community 56%. I tell you it will be 80% and 60% of the population will. We will achieve 48% immunity in the community. To this, however, the immunity of those who have contracted the coronavirus by natural infection will be added. My estimate is that 10% of the population maybe more, maybe more, will pass the disease and acquire antibodies. So again we will reach 60% ”.
However, he stressed that even 60% does not mean that we are done with the coronavirus: “It will take two – three months after this wall has been created for the disease to begin to decline.”
I think it should be done voluntarily and not imposed. I will be one of the first. If they tell me to do it tomorrow, I’ll do it tomorrow. But I believe that it should not be imposed because it is suspected that the State can impose it. “I appeal to the scientific community to be the first to do so and to follow the political leadership of the parties,” Mosialos concluded.
