Il Vaccine day kicked off the European plan for mass vaccination which should lead to a drastic reduction of Covid-19 in Old World. The vaccines Pfizer, Modern e AstraZeneca however, they would not be the only solution in the fight against the coronavirus. In addition to these, in fact, a new powerful ally could soon be added, with surprising effects. It is a drug against Covid-19 developed byUniversity College London Hospital e AstraZeneca, which would allow those who take it to avoid contagion and develop the virus. According to the British newspaper The Guardian, this therapy is already being tested at home and in 100 other sites around the world. The hope is to release the drug by the next time spring (March April).
Covid-19 drug: a new hope
The drug against Covid-19 currently in the test phase, would be able to prevent the subject from contracting the virus, but not only. This would indeed guarantee a immediate protection from the illness, which will last for an inclusive period between 6 and 12 months. The patients who will be administered this therapy will be negative people exposed to Covid-19 in the previous eight days. The immediate development of antibodies would indeed allow rapid reduced circulation of the virus and therefore would also prevent the creation of new outbreaks.
Another advantage of this therapy is the ability to spread quickly and get anywhere in no time. Unlike the Pfizer vaccine this drug does not need to be transported in special vehicles (the current vaccine needs cold rooms with a temperature of -70 °). Should it have the desired effects, AstraZeneca's drug against Covid-19 could be a real godsend. It will take many years before the Vaccine reach the entire world population and create theherd immunity. Therapies like these will speed up the immunization process and help put an end to this pandemic that has destroyed more than a million lives in just a few months.
