The biochemist from Austriawho is in the US state California lives, said that in clinical trials one “relatively quickly” medium can find. “We know the viruses, we know which enzymes they need. These are targets for Medication. “
However, it will take longer to develop one Vaccine. There are three questions to be answered Bischofberger: Produces the vaccine immunizing antibodies? How long does immunity last? And it is vaccine also safe when used on healthy people?
How many can be vaccinated then?
Vaccines against viruses are complex, he emphasizes. Against HIV or Hepatitis C. there is still none. “We’ll see how it is with Corona,” says the biochemist, who is confident.
And there is another factor: How many people would be willing to be vaccinated at all? Only eight percent of the population have the flu shot.
When asked whether a vaccination is required, the scientist only says: If a larger part of the population can be vaccinated, you can virus eradicate faster.
Whereby the question of how many had already fallen ill without noticing it had to be clarified with antibody tests. 80 to 90 percent of the population would have little to no symptoms. A large part of the population may already be immune.
