Asymptomatic coronavirus carriers do what the vaccine should do. So says the Head of the department of interferons and the laboratory of interferonogenesis at the National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology named after Gamalei, academician of RAS Felix Ershov
A vaccine that scientists around the world are working on should lead to collective immunity from the disease. As in the case of the flu. The more people vaccinated, that is, not susceptible to the virus, the less the spread of the disease. There is no vaccine from coronavirus, then collective immunization can take place at the expense of asymptomatic people:
– These are mainly young people, children. They spread the virus and, in fact, do what the vaccine should do: collective immunization is underway. When it reaches 70%, the growth of the disease will end. This process is well known among viral infections, – said the scientist on the air of NSN.
But the danger is that this process is uncontrolled, asymptomatic carriers can infect people at risk: the elderly, people with chronic diseases. For this category of patients, infection can be deadly.
– It is necessary to maintain strict control measures. They have already allowed to reduce the incidence – it is not explosive, ”advises Felix Ershov. – People need to wash their hands more often. Patients must wear masks. Healthy, not necessarily, rather it is necessary for complacency.
