Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the world is eyeing a miracle in the form of a vaccine to root out this problem.
Though, the vaccines have been prepared, yet not tested due to limitations of time to be declared 100% safe for human consumption.
But, by looking at the spread of the disease and the disastrous aftermaths, the human race is now confronted with a problem of choosing between the devil and the deep sea -- The vaccine does not guarantee a promising protection against the epidemic and it also does not guarantee any adverse reactions.
Secondly, the strain of the virus is also not stable at the moment. It is mutating quite fast and therefore, it is still unclear that which type of the virus would prevail and will the existing type of vaccine be effective against any such strain?
Since the rollout of the controversial Astra Zeneca and the deaths due to blood clots in the subjects who received it, nine of the EU countries have dropped the vaccination program altogether, including Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Austria, Italy, Estonia, Lithuania, Luxembourg and Latvia.
Although, no such reports have been observed against the Chinese CanSino vaccine so far. The specialists say that although the two variants of the vaccine are technically the same, but there is only a difference of the serum used, as the Astra Zeneca uses the Gorilla serum, which the CanSino uses the Human Serum for its vaccine. The other probable issues can be the quality gaps during production as the largest producer of Astra Zeneca's serum is India, having a capacityof producing over 50 million doses a month.
However, the CanSino vaccine also lacks proper data as the Chinese pharma cannot collect proper data from its own population as very less cases are being reported due to strict lockdowns. However, since its rollout in Brazil and other countries, no such side effects have been reported so far, yet, the reports raises a brow over the efficacy of these vaccines.
Third in the line is the Russian Sputnik-V vaccine, which is classed as shady grey due to the lack of proper information on it as well as details of the production/synthesis methods. This has led to a straightforward rejection of the vaccine by the EU countries as well as a recent rejection by Brazil, calling that this vaccine can induce serious problems.
Now one stands at the crossroads of making a decision about which COVID-19 vaccine he should opt for and whether is getting a shot is necessary?
Since the Chinese model is puzzling, which reduced the infection rate to almost naught by the virtue of strict lockdowns and social distancing alone.
