Virus will go away even without vaccine: US President Donald Trump
Business Line ^ | 05/11/2020 | Prashasti Awasthi

Posted on 05/11/2020 9:13:11 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

United States President Donald Trump claimed that the novel pandemic coronavirus will go away even without a vaccine. Trump’s remark came after he was asked by a reporter about the importance of the development of an antidote against the deadly virus, as per the Hindustan Times report.

Trump maintained that there might be some flare-ups, but the virus will eventually “go away” in some time.

Countries across the world are racing to develop a vaccine against the virus that has brought the world to a juddering halt.

The countries, including US and China, have skipped the animal testing trials of the vaccine to make it available to people as soon as possible. Some experts have predicted that the vaccine will be available by the end of 2020.

Oxford University began the phase-1 of the first human trial on April 23. The vaccine is called ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 against the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), The Hindu reported.

“The vaccine from the Oxford project will be trialed in people from this Thursday,” Matt Hancock, Health Secretary said during a daily press conference on April 22.

Trump just knows things....he just has a sense of things....he seems to have a deep reliable critical thinking ability..

I will say that this virus, like all others will subside but it never really goes away....like all other viruses....

life is like that....

It is a virus. The common cold is a virus. How long have they been searching for a cure for it? Seem like forever and they still don't have one.

The yearly flu shot is just that, a shot. It is not a vaccine because it is different each year. Sometimes it works and other times it does not.

Tetanus has a vaccine. It last a long time and is effective. Measles has a vaccine and it is effective. And so on.

Simply, there isn't going to be a vaccine for this virus. A shot, maybe!

Herd immunity will prevent a second outbreak of the same virus. We won’t be fooled again.

Too bad the same can’t be said for the Clintons...
That they would eventually just go away.

I predict that Chelsea will ran for office.... and eventually, so will Bill and Hillary’s grandkids.

That’s pretty freaky. But the paragraph above sort of undercuts the accuracy count of the predictions, doesn’t it?

Definitely no Adams family lineage in that case. Chelsea is so educated she doesn’t know how clueless and a stooge she is.. Webb would be so proud.

I’m with you I think they know something. Didn’t Pence make the comment couple weeks ago that we should see something by the end of May?

In Pennsylvania over 2000 of the deaths from covid (total deaths 3000) are nursing home residents. So if you’re not in a nursing home to date your odds of catching and dying from Covid is .008%

Birx is criticizing CDC so I think she’s jumping ship. She wants us to forget she was behind the original 2.2 million death estimate

Fauci is all in still, he’s like Slim Pickens in Dr Strangelove.

Obesity does not kill you. It does make your prognosis with this virus much more serious though.

Vaccine development and marketing are complicated and expensive, with uncertain potential to generate profit. Viruses also differ in their susceptibility to traditional whole virus vaccine strategies. New tools and approaches though seem near to revolutionizing the field.

New vaccine efforts select and duplicate part of a virus and make it the active component of a vaccine. Some vaccine developers are also pursuing easier to administer oral, nasal, and skin contact routes as alternatives to injections. Freeze drying and other technologies aim to avoid the need for refrigeration of vaccines.

Ten or twenty years from now, we may see the beginning of a wave of new vaccines marketed that are administered through a smart skin patch that does not have any dangerous reactions and does not even need to be refrigerated. Or, a simple pill or food treat might be the means of administration.

As for the common cold, it is actually caused by a set of viruses, with some even being in the coronavirus family. This makes it hard to target the common cold for a vaccine because numerous injections or a complicated multishot would be required for full effectiveness.

One particular cold virus, the Respiratory Syntactical Virus (RSV), is being actively pursued as a vaccine target because it causes numerous deaths among infants and the elderly. In that case, the severity of the illness and the size of the susceptable populations make for enough of a business case to attract several competiting vaccine development efforts.

The annual flu shot is in fact a vaccine -- just not a very good one. The economic and medical justifications for the problematic annual flu shot is that as a matter of net costs, keeping the incidence of flu down saves lives and reduces hospitalizations.

And, to get back to Trump's point, there are several pandemics and numerous epidemics that medical science has a hard time recognizing as illnesses today because either the symptoms are different now, or the virus briefly crossed to humans from an animal reservoir species and then disappeared. Ebola and other hemorrhagic fever viruses have done so repeatedly, and it is thought that numerous coronaviruses have the potential to do so as well.

Like almost all disasters, epidemics are self-limiting and survivable -- for most people.

SARS v 1.0 disappeared completely after a year or two. Maybe SARS v 2.0 will do so as well.

SARS v 1.0 hasn’t been seen since IIRC 2004. Zero cases and zero deaths since then. H1N1 is probably still out there somewhere.

That virus never disappeared really, It’s still with us today.

The flu shot is most definitely a vaccine. It's different every year because there are many different strains of flu virus, so drug companies and government entities (like the CDC) make a "best guess" each year of the (usually) three flu strains they expect to cause the most trouble. Sometimes they guess right, sometimes wrong.

If you get the flu shot every year, you may notice that some years your arm gets quite sore, but other years it's like you got a shot of normal saline. The mild reaction is because you're already immune to the strains in that year's shot.

Tetanus is caused by a bacteria. Vaccines against bacteria are only effective for a period of time; you generally need a "booster shot" every few years.

No human cases reported in several years. Probably still in bats somewhere in China, however.

How did the first SARS-COV-1 and H1N1 fizzle out? These viruses are still out there and there were no vaccines for these.

Bingo. Viruses "run out of steam" and weaken over time, just like H1N1 did. They become non-events.

Are you freakin’ kidding me ? That’s the most idiotic thing I’ve read on FR today. Just what do you think is in that shot ?
A VACCINE !!!! Pull your head out and get an education. Please.

May God help this planet.

[edit on Wikidata]
A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins. The agent stimulates the body’s immune system to recognize the agent as a threat, destroy it, and to further recognize and destroy any of the microorganisms associated with that agent that it may encounter in the future. Vaccines can be prophylactic (to prevent or ameliorate the effects of a future infection by a natural or “wild” pathogen), or therapeutic (e.g., vaccines against cancer, which are being investigated).[1][2][3][4]
