The development of multiple global coronavirus vaccines appears to be nearing completion. However, a study in the United Kingdom showed that antibodies to the coronavirus (Covid-19) have a short survival period in humans. An annual vaccination does not work.
According to a report in the WeChat account of the “Li Wen Reading Newspaper” yesterday, October 27, the UK’s “Daily Telegraph” quoted the latest research results published by the UK’s Imperial College of Science and Technology, indicating that antibodies to the new coronavirus in the human body will drop by more than a quarter within three months. This means that even if the neo-crown vaccine were successfully introduced, it would need to be administered twice a year. The study also found that, as of late last month, less than one in twenty people in the United Kingdom had antibodies to the new coronavirus. The Imperial College study involved 365,000 people.
Oxford Vaccine Older People Respond Well to Vaccination
In addition, the report quoted the British Daily Express as saying that a major breakthrough had been achieved in the ongoing clinical trial of the new Coronet vaccine at the University of Oxford in England: some volunteers over the age of 55 had a good immune response after vaccination. The proportion of side effects in these middle-aged and elderly volunteers was even lower than that in the young volunteers.
Chinese and Russian Vaccine Ahead of Others, Lack of Procedures Suspected
Only China and Russia have announced a vaccine for the coronavirus, but the Russian and Chinese vaccines are suspected of not having completed Phase III clinical human trials.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that his country will first offer an anti-coronavirus vaccine called Satellite V to medical personnel and other at-risk populations for voluntary vaccination.
China was the first country to announce the development of a vaccine: Chinese military virologist Major General Chen Wei revealed in a video that the first anti-neo-coronavirus vaccines developed by her team came off the production line on February 26, 2020. She also said that it was her birthday. Since the Chinese authorities only announced the Wuhan neo-crown pneumonia outbreak on January 20 and the city was sealed off on January 23, the timing seems surprisingly close to when the first vaccines will be available, as Chen Wei said.
