Turkish scientist Professor of studies on immune responses to infectious diseases, chronic diseases and diseases during aging. Dr. Derya Unutmaz said that the vaccine studies were completed in five phases and that the third phase of these studies is about to be completed in Corona virus.
Emphasizing that this is a state of war, Professor. Dr. He does not forget, he used the following statements;
* This is a state of war. It is imperative that all peoples and states make sacrifices. Alternatively, hundreds of thousands of people fall into hospitals, the collapse of the health system and the loss of countless lives.
* Currently, we see examples of this live in front of our eyes in Italy, Iran and Spain. This issue started in the USA.
We will definitely get rid of this, let’s not be pessimistic, but this requires a process and the coming weeks are very very critical in this process. After this point, no one should do politics, this is a human issue now.
DANGEROUS RATE, EVEN 1 PERCENT DANGEROUS
Stating that Covid-19’s spreading much faster than their “cousins” MERS and SARS, Covid-19 caused a red alarm in this respect all over the world. Dr. He forgets, continued his words as follows;
* For example, in SARS, the total number of cases worldwide has been around 8 thousand. However, 12 thousand new cases were detected in Covid-19 only yesterday.
* The number of cases diagnosed has reached 170 thousand so far, thousands of people have died. This will continue increasingly, it is very normal for people to be nervous in this regard. But it shouldn’t be panic.
* Personal precautions are very important. Even if the death rate is 1 percent, this can cause the death of millions of people worldwide.
* Also, tens of thousands of people going to health institutions cause health systems to collapse. There is also an economic side to this. It’s a more serious situation.
“HUMAN TRIALS CAN START IN THE MONTHS OF US”
Emphasizing that the vaccine is still not over but there is little time left. Dr. Unutmaz continued his words as follows:
* Several stages are required to find the vaccine. First, it is necessary to understand how the virus is stopped by the immune system. This is mostly due to the body’s own weapons or proteins, which we can also call antibodies, smart bombs.
* The virus is prevented from entering the cells in this way. In the second phase, we need to find out which protein of these antibodies binds to the virus.
* It binds to proteins on the surface of the virus that look like a crown in its envelope. In the third stage, these proteins are vaccinated with animals along with a formulation and whether animals are protected from this virus.
* If this is successful, in the fourth phase, this formula must be tried on tens of thousands of people before it can be released as a vaccine.
“WE DEVELOP AMAZING FAST”
* This is actually the longest time. It can take months. In the fifth and final stage, the vaccine is produced and released. Now we have progressed very very quickly in the coronavirus and there are some groups and companies that have reached the third stage in China, Europe and America.
* Human trials will start in the coming months. Until the end of the year, it may be possible to develop the vaccine. But I don’t think it could be earlier than that. We have still not been able to produce vaccines against AIDS for 40 years, I am sure we will achieve this in a very short time in the coronavirus. We are moving incredibly fast.
“THE SALT WATER GARAGE LIES, THERE IS NOT THAT”
He made a statement about the information that the virus is mutated and different results are present in different countries. Dr. Derya Unutmaz continued her words as follows;
Viruses are constantly mutated, of course. But almost all of these are not functional changes. That is, a slightly different virus in a country does not mean it is more contagious or more lethal. There is no such data so far.
* Only a publication came out of China, but this was very speculative. It does not mean that it will not be in the future, of course. It is very difficult to predict which mutation the virus will undergo right now.
* There are also rumors spreading like salt water spreading on social media, gargle with warm water. None of these have a scientific basis. Those who make this claim are in great irresponsibility.
* The plague in this outbreak of misleading the people will be really huge. Because it is a contagious disease and those who spread this rumor will not be able to overcome this responsibility because they create false perceptions.
“FLAWS FROM THE QUARANTINE THROUGH PUBLIC HEALTH”
Explaining that quarantine is an important practice that cannot be left to personal option in epidemics. Dr. He forgets, said:
* Those who try to escape from quarantine endanger public health. I think there is a legal obligation, this is a penalty issue. If necessary, martial law and even a curfew can be declared. As it is now in Italy.
* We say that isolation is kept alone in the hospital for people with viruses. They are isolated and these people do not even make contact with their relatives.
* Turkey last week took a very important and timely decisions in this regard. Schools were on vacation, this was very important. But it should go further, all collective places, restaurants, cafes, entertainment places, concerts, places of worship should be closed.
* These may sound too extreme right now, but we are at such a point that the risk increases day by day.
“I HAVE NEVER FIND THE ENGLISH’S METHOD ACCURATE”
Professor Dr. Forgetting, he said that the French Ministry of Health’s publication that ibuprofen containing cold medicines worsened the course of the disease did not reflect exactly the truth. DHA
