Vaccines save lives
Vaccines save lives
The vaccine
has helped control and even eradicate many deadly diseases, including polio and
smallpox. The search for a vaccine to prevent Covid 19 disease continues. The
epidemic has affected more than 2 million people worldwide.
Scientists
working to develop a vaccine for CVD-19 are advancing longstanding US efforts
to limit the damage caused by infectious diseases around the world.
Vaccines
have been shown to help control the spread of many deadly diseases. And because
of them, smallpox disappeared. Inventors from the United States, Germany, the
United Kingdom, and other countries have discovered such a safe and effective
vaccine against COD-19. Who is helping in the fight against this epidemic?
American
pharmaceutical company Moderna and German-based Biotech have partnered with
US-based Pfizer to develop the first vaccine, the Messenger RNA vaccine. Which
have been very effective in preventing code 19. The American company Johnson
& Johns has developed a single vaccine. The vaccine is also helping to
prevent code 19 in the world.
The United
States is providing 610 million doses of the vaccine to low- and middle-income
countries and economies. Most donations are made through the Cowax program of
international partnerships, which are dedicated to fair distribution. The
United States has also donated billion to a
"vaccine alliance" called Gavi, which supports the Kovacs program.
President
Biden's call for the United States to become the world's "vaccine
weapon" is a result of decades of US investment in biomedical research and
innovation efforts aimed at controlling and eradicating infectious diseases
around the world. To do
Jonas Silk
was an American physician, medical researcher, and epidemiologist. He developed
a vaccine to treat polio in 1955. Before that, millions of children were
paralyzed by polio every year. According to the US Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), large-scale immunizations reduced the number of polio
cases by 99% between 1988 and 2013.
Nobel
Prize-winning American John Anders was a biomedical scientist. He developed the
measles vaccine in 1963. Now the number of measles patients is very low. The
CDC says measles killed 142,000 people worldwide in 2018.
U.S.
researchers are also developing vaccines for other diseases.
Middle
Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS):
Mercury
first appeared in humans in 2012 on the Arabian Peninsula. The disease then
spread to the United States in 2014. Scientists have found out how the virus
called Mers-Cove causes Mers. And they are working to develop an effective
vaccine for the disease.
Says the
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. One of the 19 possible
vaccines is being treated in hospitals. Because it will be used as a vaccine to
treat measles after proper modification.
Ebola:
Ebola virus
disease can cause fever, intracranial hemorrhage, and death. The virus is
transmitted from one person to another through the transfer of body fluids. The
disease is found mainly in Africa. Its most recent epidemic was in 2021 in the
Republic of Congo and Guinea.
The vaccine,
which has been approved by US and European regulators in recent years, has been
developed by the American pharmaceutical company Merck to treat the
"pilgrim type" of the disease. The United States is the largest donor
to Ebola. The United States also helps prepare and combat epidemics in
countries where epidemics are most prevalent.
Zika:
The Zika
virus is mainly transmitted by mosquitoes. And as a result, thousands of babies
were born in the Western Hemisphere in 2015 and 2016 with birth defects.
The US
Department of Defense's Walter Reed Army Research Institute has made rapid
progress in developing the Zika vaccine. And began its trial experiments in
late 2016.
NIAID
scientists have developed an experimental vaccine. And its trial began in March
2017.
Malaria:
Another
mosquito-borne disease is malaria. Half of the world's population, or 3.4
billion people, are at risk of contracting the disease each year. Prior to
President George W. Bush's launch of the US President's malaria program in
2005, it killed 700,000 people a year in Africa.
By 2017,
malaria deaths have halved to less than 300,000 a year as a result of the
expansion of treatment facilities and the provision of mosquito nets.
U.S.
researchers are also part of an international effort to develop a vaccine that
is 77 percent effective in preventing malaria in children aged 5 to 17 months.
Tuberculosis:
TB is caused
by bacteria that attack the lungs. When a TB patient sneezes or coughs, the
germs that are spread through the air are transmitted to others. The disease
kills 1.5 million people each year. TB has surpassed AIDS in terms of deaths,
which is the leading cause of death in the world.
The
effectiveness of the vaccine currently available is limited. That's why NIAID
is funding research on vaccines and treatments. Numerous possible vaccine
experiments on animals have yielded successful results, and the vaccine is
currently being tested in a hospital.
