Listen, WHO & Bill Gates Reveal News of Making Covid-19 Vaccines

HARIANHALUAN.COM – The World Health Organization (WHO) revealed the latest news regarding the manufacture of the Covid-19 vaccine. According to WHO Scientist Chief Soumya Swaminathan, there are two companies that are in the foremost position in this regard, namely AstraZeneca (United Kingdom) and Moderna (United States).

“Of course in terms of how advanced (the vaccine) is, the stage where they are, they are the main candidates. So maybe they (AstraZeneca and Moderna) will get fairly early results,” Swaminathan said as quoted by Reuters on Sunday (28 / 6/2020).

“We know that the Moderna vaccine will also go into phase three clinical trials, perhaps starting in mid-July, and so vaccine candidates are not far behind. But I think AstraZeneca certainly has more global coverage now in terms of where they conduct and plan trials try their vaccine, “he continued.

Swaminathan also revealed that WHO was in talks with several Chinese producers, including Sinovac (SVA.O), regarding the potential of making the Covid-19 vaccine. He also said that he was studying the vaccine with Indian researchers.

Previously, AstraZeneca planned to produce 2 billion doses of the new corona virus vaccine that causes Covid-19. This includes 400 million for the US and UK, and 1 billion for people in low and middle income countries.

Previously, Microsoft founder Bill Gates revealed the Covid-19 vaccine would be discovered by the end of this year or early 2021. This was in line with predictions from President Donald Trump’s adviser Anthony Fauci.

In February 2020, Bill Gates through the non-profit foundation Bill & Malinda Gates promised funds of up to US $ 100 billion to help control the new corona virus caused by Covid-19 in the world. These funds can be used to help find vaccines, limit spread and improve patient detection and treatment.

“If it is a great vaccine, including being able to block its transmission, 70-80% of people will use the vaccine,” Bill Gates told CNN International, as quoted Friday (6/26/2020).

Bill Gates revealed in addition to finding a vaccine, another problem that had to find a solution was distribution, ensuring everyone could access the Covid-19 vaccine.

Previously, Bill Gates said he was sad to see the handling of the Covid-19 corona virus in the world. He called the handling of a pandemic in the world and the US “gloomier” than expected.

Bill Gates also gave an example of what happened in the United States (US). According to him, there are still many people dying because Covid-19 today in the US shows the government’s actions are far from enough to fight the pandemic.

“It is possible to improve the test [Covid-19] for new pathogens very quickly. Actually a number of countries are doing this very well and the technology continues to improve there. “The US in particular does not yet have the leadership or coordination message you expect,” Bill Gates said.
