In this global pandemic of the Coronavirus Covid-19 Bill Gates, they have become a point of reference for everyone.
He was the one who more or less predicted that this would happen and is one of the most active people in the search for a SARS-CoV-2 treatment or vaccine.
So your opinion on the next stage of the fight. That where one or many vaccines already exist, but the disease has not yet been eradicated, it is more than important for everyone.
A difficult start
In an interview with CBS News, the Microsoft co-founder spoke candidly about his efficiency projections once the vaccine is circulating. And we must say it, the guy is honest:
There will be a lot of uncertainty about how good these vaccines will be. You know, the first generation can be only 50% effective and the duration of its effect is not known with certainty.
Therefore, these will be partial solutions that will improve with time. Therefore, it is a pity that people think that the approval of Phase 3 will be the end of the epidemic.
At this time, neither vaccine appears to work with a single dose. That was the hope at first. Perhaps some of them, particularly in the second generation, will surprise us.
Gates says that at the moment the medical community expects vaccines that require only two doses to be reached.
Although they continue to analyze the situation with older adults. Since with them perhaps a greater quantity would be necessary.
But that is something that is currently evaluated in phase 3 of the tests, based on the data obtained on the health of the new volunteers.
