Dr. Beatrice Mahler: The only solution and hope for normality is the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine. I’m going to get vaccinated – Salud

“The only solution and hope we have for normality is the administration of the vaccine. It is true, this vaccine was created in an extremely short time, but we must not forget that it was created by a laboratory method, by a research method that is not new at the moment, it is applied in the treatment of oncological pathology, a treatment that is extremely effective if we talk about this category of patients and, in addition, we are talking about a way of structuring the vaccine that practically does not provide (…) This vaccine will certainly be effective, because the studies so far indicate an efficiency greater than 90%, but we should not understand this effectiveness as the only objective we have in this “There are more answers that we are waiting, they will come,” said Dr. Beatrice Mahler.

The director of the institute, Marius Nasta, says that he will be vaccinated and is sure that the vaccine will work: “I will get vaccinated. I am sure this vaccine will work, I am sure that this vaccine will give me the freedom to live a normal life, freedom that the year 2021 is a year in which it is not fear, but hope, which is the feeling that predominates every day of my life. (…) If we vaccinate and understand that vaccination is a solution for us Romanians and the percentage of vaccination and the desire to get vaccinated reaches around 70% of the population, we will probably get rid of the masks in the fall. “

Beatrice Mahler does not expect a decline in the number of cases in December and talks about the need to expand both testing and testing methods: “We will only know the number of cases if they are tested. So if we don’t have evidence, we won’t have a reality of the number of cases. I can say that I do not expect a decrease in the number of cases in Intensive Care, but I can tell you that I expect the same high number of deaths in December that we saw in the first days of December. (.. .) We have to test, isolate the cases at home and only after we have tested and isolated the cases at home can we expect a real decrease in the number of cases.That’s why I think testing needs to be expanded, testing methods should expand and adjust to the situation of the pandemic in Romania. “
