The Vaccine Dillema of COVID-19

People around the globe still have questions about the effectiveness of COVID-19 Vaccines.

The invention of the vaccine is a major medical breakthrough.  The very idea of ​​being vaccinated gives a person hope for further survival and freedom.  If you give a person in a latent form to survive the invasion of some weakened infectious agent, then the body will cope with it and be able to develop its own long-term immunity.

But there is one problem. When medicine becomes a hostage of market relations, then all the best that was created in medicine, at one time by ingenious people, can turn for a person, not entirely in a positive direction.

According to the classical principle the development of a vaccine is rather a lengthy process.  Weak strains develop which are then cultivated for a long time.  And this is a matter of more than one year.  As a result, the immune response is activated, but the infection process does not start.  This makes our body produce antibodies.  And antibodies can form both at the level of the mucous membrane and in the blood.

If the virus infects the mucous membrane and does not enter the bloodstream (the result of research by Chinese scientists, where out of a hundred infected with coronavirus, only two people have a virus in their blood), then the question arises: how much is it necessary to do mass vaccination of people?

The statistics regarding side effects after vaccination are usually hidden.  And if you do make a vaccine, you need to approach each person individually.  It is necessary to find out his susceptibility to the vaccine, his state of immunity. 

For this, there is a legislation so that a person understands that all medical manipulations are done only with the permission of the person himself or in the presence of a legal representative.  People must know what this vaccine is?  Against what?  And why should it be done?  The SARS-Cov-2 virus, which causes the COVID-19 disease, mutates, just like the flu virus.

A well-known virologist in the CIS countries, Nadezhda Zholobak states the following: "The introduction of the influenza vaccine at different stages of the epidemic process leads to the formation of an enhanced immune response and people who were vaccinated with these vaccines, mainly young people, fall ill at the end of the epidemiological season.  Moreover, in a rather complex form. And this is due to the hyper-activation of immunity at the level of blood serum and non-activation at the level of the mucous membrane."

Will the currently developed vaccines be able to provide the necessary physiological and psychological safety of the population?  The question remains open
