Does Russia already have the Covid-19 vaccine? Some personal notes

in hive-175254 •  4 years ago  (edited)

The world is in so much wait for a confirmed cure. Maybe it would bring a stop to the whole mess in the world; I hope it does. However, while the researches are still going on, prevention and discipline seem to be the best shot yet. Which China and a large part of Asia has demonstrated.

The approval process of a vaccine takes a long time — half a year or more. And at this stage, if any solid research isnt underway that would yield a potential vaccine, then we can all have a clear head and project how long we would wait.

Announcement from Russia is a good news if it is true. The testing of only 38 people isn't enough to me. I hope it's not political though

Very quickly they did, very few tests reported, there is no multilateral review, more tests must be done in different countries, the climatic conditions may affect in some way, tests must be done, is what I think.

The fact is that you can't kill a virus... Most vaccines just mask the symptoms by boosting person's own defense system, but don't actually kill or block the virus infection. You still get some of the symptoms but they are a lot weaker if it is same or compatible mutation of the virus.

Only bacterial infections can be cured permanently.

This is good info... If it is true that viruses are not actually killed, then clearly the world stand a better chance at moving on from this if we become more discipline. Follow prevention rules such as distancing and use of masks

A lot of viruses hide in central nervous system when "dormant" and then resurface after few years or when immune system is weaker than normal.

This is possible because human immune system is largely based on activity of white blood cells and there is no blood cells in nervous system.

Thanks for the explanation @mtl1979. I think though that you have a deep knowledge of biology.

I never liked reading children's books when I was little, instead I did read technical manuals, phone books, encyclopedias etc...

I still have the same 24 part encyclopedia I did read when I was a child even though most of the data is already outdated... It was made in 1960s ;)
