We all wonder how quickly a coronavirus vaccine can be developed and how effective it could be. Naturally: "If you really want to put the nail in the coffin of an epidemic, you will need a vaccine," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, An interview with Bloomberg's power balance on Wednesday. Fauci described what he would consider a successful vaccine and the last on development development - and he pointed out that there are many things you can do to protect yourself in the meantime. And to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss these21 subtle signs that you have already had coronavirus.

Fauci said "I would like to have" a vaccine from 80 to 90% effective, "but if we get an efficiency of 50 to 60%, I will feel good about it with regard to sustainability."

"If you get a vaccine, you will have at least several months of protection to make you spend a season," he said. "If it turns out that you get more than that, we are all better. If it turns out, you have to strengthen someone, it's okay too - we can give a reminder."

Researchers around the world work at full speed (at the speed of the American chain of the operation) to be first to develop a vaccine. "There is no problem with effectiveness because the proof is in the pudding - you must do the three clinical trial phase to determine efficiency and confirm security," said Fuci.

"There are a number of vaccines that have already participated in the third phase," he added. "There are one of England, one in Brazil and South Africa. There are one we started here with Moderna and Pfizer started on July 27th. There are other companies Who will start next month or two or three so, you're talking about five or six companies or more, each of them started at different times. We do not know which one will be better than the other. And you know what? I hope I hope they "we are all equivalent good, because that's what we need. We need vaccines. Not only for the United States, we need vaccines for the whole world. "

The history of vaccine development contains several incidents of unexpected side effects, poliomyelitis vaccine in the 1976 swine flu inoculation campaign. Some fear that coronavirus vaccines will be rushed, to the detriment of their safety. Not Fauci, who said the past is not prologue here. "We pay special attention to the safety and speed with which we move is more about technical logical progress in the way you can do a vaccine, even before you start testing it," said Fuci. "It makes me convince me that we will do everything we can do everything we can to determine security. Thus, when we talk about speed, it does not mean sacrificing security considerations, and that does not mean either To sacrifice the scientific integrity. This means that we were able to do things more quickly because of the risks we take financially ".

"So when people hear risks, they think:" Oh, is it a risk for me? "No. That means you do things before making investments in the preparation of clinical trial sites and even start making the vaccine even before you know that it works. When you do, if it works, if it works, if it works, if it works, You have recorded several months. If it was not working, the only thing you lost is money. "

Fuci said that, to a certain extent, the future can be now. "We should not think about locking completely or cautiously to the wind. There is a ground of understanding that we can do five or six things that will allow us to open up prudently and carefully with the precautious 'economy. It's not all or nothing. I think there is a wrong perception that unless we have a lock or that we open that there is nothing between the two. "

If you really want to put the nail in the coffin of an epidemic, you will need a vaccine, "said Fuci." However, there are many things we can make from a public health point that can control this more correctly. Overall, as well as at the national level. Fauci has repeated that hand washing, using masks, bar closures and limiting social gatherings are effective prevention measures - find out more here aboutDr. Faisci 10 worst coronavirus mistakes that you could do.
