The atv.hu report also revealed that according to Julianna Lisziewicz, people and states can only defend themselves against the virus and presumably everyone, to the best of their knowledge and available possibilities, will defend themselves against contracting the disease, the epidemic will continue to spread. . .
He stressed that waves can be expected during an epidemic, but they will get bigger and bigger. With regard to herd immunity, he noted that there are reports that another mutant version of the virus has also been contracted; there is already a case in Hungary where someone has been caught twice by the disease.
The virologist noted that experts believe that only one-tenth of true infection is shown by test results alone. It is clear that the epidemic is now increasing in the United States and Europe, but India has now entered a downward trajectory.
Julianna Lisziewicz also spoke about the clinical results of 3 different vaccines in the United States that are expected in December, and the authority must decide whether to allow the vaccines for the masses. He added that the authority will only approve individual vaccines if they are at least 50 percent effective, but it is not possible to know how long the vaccine will protect. In his opinion, it will also be a question of whether people want to get vaccinated. According to the immunologist, no one can be given a vaccine or therapy, people must be informed first of all.
He stressed that childhood vaccines are very safe, but acknowledged that not as much data is available on new ones.
The virologist stressed that it is not only the mass vaccine that is the solution, they are, for example, working to predict who will need which immune response to protect themselves from an attack caused by the virus. Julianna Lisziewicz explained in detail that they are trying to study the genetics of people with an artificial intelligence system and map the natural substances that could be used to strengthen the immune system and be able to fight the virus.
He also noted that even after vaccination, the mask and hand washing remain for at least another year.
