What crime did trump commit?
Why most of the vaccines developed in west(US+EU) are using exotic technologies like mRNA and viral vectors? So far only India and China have developed vaccines with inactive virus. If making vaccines using inactive virus is proven and reliable technology then why there is rush to create vaccines using new exotic technologies. What am I missing here? Would love hear from someone from medical/pharma domain. #pharma #covid19
Nothing rushed or exotic about it. Been around for decades but the world has been too slow to adopt new biotech.
By new I only meant inactive virus has been used since 100 years and other are relatively newer. I am thinking it should be easier to develop vaccine using tried and tested legacy technology than a new technology.
How else is Bill Gates gonna inject microchips into your body? Something about 5g, too, but I forget
(Not from medical domain, just memories from reading news. Could be wrong.) It's much more difficult to scale the production of inactivated vaccines. Because growing and purifying the virus is more dangerous, production facilities would need some biosafety certification, therefore less facilities/production capacity would be up to standard for this vaccine type. But I don't think mRNA-based end up becoming the majority is intentional. They just came out and got approved first.
This could be a factor. Growing and purifying is required for viral vector vaccine as well. Although for that adenovirus is grown not corona virus. Although as adenovirus is also used for other purposes so we might’ve mass production sorted out for it.
Only india and China? What about UK and Russia?
inactive one has less protection when facing variations
Lol exotic? I say go ahead and hack my immune system, put that shite in my arm. It is the only way forward to get innovative against viruses. Traditional vaccines have their problems, plus you can get more viles from mRNA based production
mrna may integrate piece into your dna https://www.pnas.org/content/118/21/e2105968118
Did you even read that? It's talking about when someone is infected. Completely different from how the vaccine operates
If you have some biological background, the vaccine simulate mRNA-> protein, which is the process when mRNA integrating to dna
How's that vaccine working out in India right now?
Ironically, Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine (viral vector based) seems to be more available in India than India's Covaxin (inactivated virus based).
Vaccine itself is working fine vaccine rollout is different matter. https://www.theweek.in/news/india/2021/04/28/what-us-top-pandemic-expert-anthony-fauci-said-about-covaxin.html
