The head of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia, Veronika Skvortsova, said that the coronavirus pandemic could end soon. But the covid itself will not disappear anywhere and will continue to unpleasantly remind of itself.
The complete disappearance of the coronavirus, as, for example, happened with smallpox or polio, is unlikely. This virus is constantly mutating, which means it lives and evolves like the flu. It is hard to imagine that the flu would disappear from the face of the earth, and the same will not happen with the coronavirus. According to Skvortsova, he will return from time to time.
At the same time, she spoke about the Convasel vaccine, which was developed by experts from the institution she leads. Clinical studies are currently underway, their duration has already exceeded 6 months. And during this period there is no decrease in the protective properties of the drug. It is noteworthy that none of the volunteers fell ill with the coronavirus in a symptomatic form.
Only one participant was diagnosed with the infection, but he survived the disease without any symptoms. After registration, Konvasel will become the fourth Russian vaccine against coronavirus. Thus, our country will be among the world leaders in terms of the number of registered drugs. True, none of them has yet received official recognition in the world, even Sputnik V has not yet been approved by either the World Health Organization or the European Medical Agency. (READ MORE)
