COVID-19: India On The Verge Of Developing Vaccine Faster Than Expected
How India Is Leading The Pack In The War Against COVID-19 — Ahead Of UK, US, China
India might be seen as a country trying to break from the yoke of the developing country tag largely because of the sheer size of its population among which the majority is still very much poor and living from hand to mouth.
But despite its imposing population, one that appears to inhibit its pace of development, two areas of human endeavour that Indian has earned its stripes among the comity of nations are medicine and pharmacy. India, as it is today, will give the developed nations a run for their money in these two veritable areas human endeavors. It has earned the respect of the developed nation due to its self-reliance and inward-looking approach when it comes to medicine and pharmaceutical inroads.
It’s the advancement in these two areas that the country is bringing to fore in the fight against COVID-19, for all its ingenuity and stake in the order of the world, China has been found wanting in the race to finding a lasting solution to the pandemic despite being the country where it’s broke out from. such dilly dally from China has engendered vicious conspiracy theories that could affect its relationship with other countries of the world years to come.
With its reputation for being the preferred destination for pharmaceutical companies, India has unleashed its pharmaceutical might on COVID-19.
According to NASNEWS, pharmaceutical companies in India are already making millions of doses of COVID-19 test vaccines. And if things go right, we might get the real one. So this is the story of how the world is on the way to developing the fastest vaccine ever. As of today, the 28th of April COVID-19 infected over 3 million people globally and it is not going anywhere until we find the solution. This is why 80 companies around the world are searching for a vaccine and them to develop a vaccine to fight the coronavirus.
“A vaccine usually takes six to seven years to develop. But this is an emergency and we work towards developing the vaccine first times faster. How is this speed even possible you may as well COVID-19 is similar to other types of Coronaviruses like SARS, or MERS. In the past vaccine trials already passed many of these steps before being abandoned when these Coronaviruses went away on their own. Now using this previous experience, the governments are willing to give COVID-19 scientists a chance to be more experimental.
” At the University of Oxford scientists are testing a vaccine on 800 humans and they hope to have a vaccine by September 2020. This is fast, and if it works, this will be the fastest vaccine ever but they need to produce a lot of them not one or two, but rather billions. And that’s where India comes in” NASNEWS
India has the largest pharmaceutical company in the world. The Serum Institute Of India can produce 1.5 billion vaccines every year, much more than any production company in the US, or even in China, Indian scientists are currently testing a multi-purpose vaccine.
This gives us hope not only because of the number of vaccines but also because of the costs India can produce a vaccine at an average price of 0.5 five cents to save a life. That’s why Oxford gave India their test Coronavirus vaccine and right now they are making 14 million of them without even knowing if it works.
The CEO said the decision is at my own risk and cost because I want to fight COVID-19 This is amazing. Once again, humanity can only win if we all come together.
Right now India is known as the country that imposed the largest lockdown in the history of our planet 1.3 billion Young people, but in the future, who knows, it may be known as the country that helped save the world. And that’s news. worth sharing.
