'Will not save you from infection': the rush to create a vaccine against coronavirus can affect its quality
Desperate attempts to keep the economy afloat and to create a vaccine against coronavirus as soon as possible can lead to the fact that the drug will be weaker than it could be. Writes about it Fox News.
According to Bloomberg, although a “knockout punch” vaccine would be ideal, early vaccines may have a limited spectrum of action, said Robin Shattock, a professor at Imperial College London, who leads the development of an experimental vaccine.
“It’s unclear whether this will be protection against infection or protection against disease,” Shattock said. “It is possible that a vaccine that only protects against serious diseases would be very useful.”
“Vaccines should protect against disease, not infection,” said Dennis Burton, an immunologist and vaccine researcher at Scripps Research in La Jolla, California.
Such a vaccine can improve the situation in areas tired of quarantine.

“I imagine the day after someone is immunized they'll think, 'I can go back to normal. Everything will be fine,” said Michael Kinch, associate vice president at Washington University in St. Louis. “They don’t necessarily realize that they could still be susceptible to infection.”
The Office noted that few, if any, vaccines are 100 percent effective for all recipients. On June 9, the World Health Organization (WHO) listed 136 vaccine candidates, 10 of which are undergoing clinical evaluation.
According to Michael Felberbaum, spokesman for the Food and Drug Administration, the agency could potentially consider vaccines related to the prevention of serious illnesses if the evidence confirms the benefits of vaccination. According to him, to obtain a license for a vaccine does not require a confirmed action of protection against infection.
For example, in a June 11 update from Moderna, Inc., the company stated that the primary endpoint of the late-stage study is the prevention of symptomatic COVID-19 disease. According to Kinch, "there will never be a truly perfect vaccine," but imperfect but practical vaccines can be observed.
