A vaccine for Christmas | The Journal of Quebec

One of the hardest things to live with since the start of the pandemic is to ignore when we will manage to neutralize the virus, a prospect that will finally allow us to resume normal life.

With no other choice, we have learned to live with it, and even to forget it at times, but the COVID virus has nonetheless taken control of our lives.

The straitjacket of sanitary measures and distancing, although necessary and understandable for anyone who takes the trouble to be well informed, has overcome many projects and aspirations.

Less happiness

The slightest outing is not the same as before: going to a restaurant, to the cinema, to the hairdresser, to the grocery store, to the pharmacy, with the waiting time, the constraints and also the fear is often not very pleasant .

Virus obliges, human contact has given way to coldness. Even the holidays, synonymous with happiness, rest and joy, do not take on the same lightness this year. Many projects have had to be revisited, if not completely canceled, with this sword of Damocles hanging over your head.

Incredible feat

However, we must remain positive, remain hopeful and remember that the situation is only temporary. So the prospect that an effective vaccine against COVID could be developed for Christmas, as we reported yesterday in the monthly report on the race for vaccines and remedies, is proving to be most encouraging.

This possibility, unimaginable six months ago, would represent an incredible scientific feat if it materializes, according to Dr.r Richard Béliveau, columnist at Journal.

Of course, there are still important steps to be taken before claiming victory, but this glimmer of hope is more than welcome.

It allows you to see the light at the end of the tunnel, after this more gloomy period that we would have all done without.

It feels good.
