Bill Gates revealed that there is a possibility that the Corona vaccine is imperfect or fully effective. But on some scale, it’s not a big problem. He cited the success of the smallpox vaccine.
“The smallpox vaccine is the only vaccine that kills all diseases on Earth, but it is quite brutal. Leaving scars. One in three experienced quite bad side effects. Several people experienced more severe reactions,” he said.
“The smallpox vaccine was far from perfect, but it worked. The COVID-19 vaccine could have been something similar,” added the man with the glasses on his blog, Gates Notes.
“If we design a perfect vaccine, we want it to be completely safe and 100% effective. A single dose provides lifelong protection and should be easily stored and shipped. I hope the COVID-19 vaccine has all these qualities, but if you look at the line of time, maybe not. ” He explained.
The Corona vaccine was effectively accelerated by scientists so that the world could soon be Corona-free or at least return to normal. Apparently, the vaccine does not need to be 100% effective for the mission.
“I think a vaccine that is 70% effective will be enough to stop the outbreak. You can use 60% effectiveness but we could still see local outbreaks. Others under 60% tend not to create collective immunity to stop the virus,” he continued. the founder of Microsoft.
Another challenge is ensuring that the Corona vaccine is effective for parents. That is because they are the most vulnerable group if COVID-19 is positive.
“The older you are, the less effective the vaccine will be. Your immune system, like the entire body, is aging and slower to recognize and attack intruders. That’s a big problem for the COVID-19 vaccine because parents are the most vulnerable. We must make sure they are protected, “he wrote.
