US President Donald Trump said on the 18th (local time) that next April he will be able to produce enough corona vaccines for all Americans.
According to the New York Times, President Trump said at a press conference at the White House that day: “Hundreds of millions of vaccines will be produced each month.” “By April, we will produce as much vaccine as possible for all Americans.”
On the 16th, the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Robert Redfield, said: “I believe that it will be possible for the vaccine to be universally distributed to Americans and come back to life. normal only at the end of the second and third quarters of next year. ” It is placed.
But Trump insisted that “we are well ahead of the vaccine” and that “we will have the vaccine at some point in the very near future.” “We are several years ahead (in vaccine development) than if it were not for this administration,” he praised.
But Trump’s words appear to be less realistic, the New York Times reported. Currently, three companies, including AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Modena, are in phase 3 trials, which is the final stage of the clinical trial.
Lump also said that large quantities of the vaccine “will be distributed through our troops” and “our best generals are ready to distribute it.” However, the NYT has to keep the vaccine temperature below -80 -C throughout the corona vaccine transport process, raising questions about whether this is possible while transporting thousands of miles.
If it develops in other countries like Europe, it must be kept at a very low temperature throughout the process until it is injected into the patient’s arm after being sent to a hospital through a distribution warehouse. To do this, the carrier UPS is building a huge cold store that can hold the corona vaccine.
Dry ice can be used to maintain temperature, but if you use dry ice to transport chemicals on airplanes, the carbon dioxide that is released when dry ice melts can threaten pilots. Furthermore, as ethanol production declined, the national search for dry ice became a star in the sky. Dry ice is a by-product made during ethanol production.
