The global corona crisis you can find more Information Online at e. W. Dot com don t w social media channels. Whats the quickest way to a vaccine against coke at 19 competition or cooperation. A Global Alliance of countries and organizations has formed it has a 100 potential that seems a development bad fall in Clinical Trials the speed is unprecedented. But doesnt competition drive innovation. The United States is steering clear of the Global Initiative it reckons its drug makers will be the 1st to find a vaccine were going to. Fish racket like youve never seen before if we come up with take. Away would that leave the rest of the world. Ive been fizzling when the new coronavirus 1st went global it spot mass protectionism border close its trade stops travel bad it was a russian mosques shortages or export restrictions now the competition has got even fiesta with a vaccine the holy grail of medicine a terrifying disease brought to an end by a vaccine the polio vaccine earned jonas salk worldwide fame when it came out in 1955 but it didnt earn him money he made no effort to patent his invention developing a vaccine against corona virus will be extremely expensive at least 80 teams around the world are working independently funded by Pharma Companies governments and n. G. O. S in a race to be 1st but critics say this race is a needless game of catch up among the key funders of efforts to prepare for a pandemic is microsoft cofounder bill gates he says that despite the global threat theres been no global coordination. The world was not prepared and so everybodys trying to figure this out as they go and so theres a shortage of figuring out what the priorities should be between countries has been very difficult now that people are sort of. You know figuring out this social distancing which is very painful starting to think about ok how do we have drugs for treatment how do we get back seen as quickly as possible here i see a chance that there will be very strong cooperation that cooperation will be needed to get any vaccine out quickly but a vaccine is not a blockbuster drug where one Company Takes the risk and earns the patent revenue inventing one is only a 1st step. We have to have enough vaccines for everyone and what were going to need is to make sure that there is adequate Production Capacity for vaccines and thats going to require working differently its going to require doing it at risk we also need this Global Leadership to again a fine prioritized vaccine candidates the same Global Leadership is going to be required for the 2nd child challenge which is to guarantee equal access to facts seem will need to be manufactured on a vast scale producing billions of doses that will be a huge cooperative effort likely to fall on the shoulders of governments and n. G. O. S in developing countries with many Pharma Companies taking part governments are willing to pay to ensure that nearly everyone is inoculated starting with the most vulnerable that will be expensive but much cheaper than keeping society locked down. So too big a job for Just One Company experts say a global if it is key to finding and producing a vaccine for the world but not all governments are playing bowl germany is cutting its laws for foreign takeovers in the Health Care Industry lets talk about that with band fun start ups with the Life Science Team of high tech going to phones europes leading seed and best of young tech companies. These are all very sensitive topics that are being dealt with at the moment it isnt a beta full of all countries to ensure that these companies a looked off to that this information doesnt get out there and is misused by other governments. I dont believe that protectionism can do the hansa to who challenges are already some very comprehensive and entranced laws in place. People guaranteed access to parts of Health Crises so rather better cooperation and protection should take a look at for example the usa they have the biggest concentration of the common good Biotech Companies but still suffer from the horrors incidence of ninetys so it doesnt seem to help the u. S. Is going to have a lot of experience on its hands in certainly dealing with this outbreak and trying to find this vaccine the field though is very closely evenly split among what we call the big 4 thats merck from the u. S. Glaxo smith kline which is british pfizer another u. S. Company and cent of french is just a small remainder of the market which is taken up by other firms of course weve also got the start ups what id like to ask you is who has the best chance there i mean those Big Companies have a lot of money they have a lot of experience why on earth could a startup which is starting from scratch come up with something better. In the Current Crisis i dont believe that is that its going to make the race i mean there that can help and there are already some start ups beginning Clinical Trials will call 1000 vaccine but on the other hand i do believe that in the Current Situation its probably the best to begin with concepts that have already proved incentive out and then at other technologies or lets say other and other approaches to hunt the bad accident after all and what startups are good at is being more radical or redefining ways things are usually done in the past where some very good examples of that like for example back in the ninetys where startups begin producing were counted proteins as drugs and they can be of great help in this crisis as well with their technologies and with their new ways of thinking but to be honest the Big Companies have more experience in developing vaccine so if i had to make a bat i would probably bet on the big ones perhaps in combination with one of the suburbs and its obviously going to take a huge amount of resources just explain to our viewers why it costs so much to develop new drugs to develop a new vaccine if you soften the growing what the development of new growth may take more than a decade and the chance of success even after having to leave the Clinical Phase of the development meaning the point when you Start Testing abrar in schuman being that the chances are still around 10 percent thats not a lot and depending on the question that you target you may end up with a total Development Cost of over a 1000000000. 00 and have to send a patients in to deserve that safety invictus is if you 1st have to be proven probably you dont play with peoples lives the other thing everyones going to be expecting is that they get is for free. I dont believe everyone is getting it for free it would also depend on to on the extent of how much subsidies a manufacturer of the delta has received so far to develop the drug and bring to the market. Do believe that stronger shoulders should carry more burden and we could shoulders with it bad countries like the us like germany or the more developed world if you will they should definitely pay more than our poorer countries and perhaps thats going to be in a Global Health fund subsidizing or sponsoring the question disabused of the drug and poorer countries and then of the day i believe that the medical neat should be the only decisive factor not origin not religion not wealth not the level of education whos getting the clock or not but see if we get that and thank you very much for your analysis your work. Lets go over now to our science had it that Derek Williams hes got answers to some of your viewer questions vaccines and the coronavirus. Why cant we use previously existing coronavirus vaccines. Because there arent any along with sars could have 26. 00 other coronaviruses are currently known to infect human beings 4 of them only cause cold like sometimes so theyre annoying but not really worth the huge efforts that would be required to develop a vaccine against them theres been a lot more work done on potential vaccines against the much more deadly coronavirus diseases sars and mers that work hasnt produced any approved vaccines yet however it has really given researchers a running start when it comes to developing approaches because of sars and maurice quite a lot of a preliminary science has been done when it comes to corona Virus Vaccine Development in general and thats whats fueling hopes that we might be able to produce a covert 1000 vaccine quite quickly as these things go according to most experts within 12 to 18 months. What are the long term consequences for people who have contracted coping. This is one of those things that we dont know yet it will take years before we have a really clear picture of how the corona virus can impact on your health over the long term but all serious respiratory ailments can leave lasting damage and and doctors expect 19 to be no different in this respect studies are only now starting to reveal some of the a facts that it can have and what the experts are saying is that people with milder cases are less likely to develop future lasting effects but that some intensive care patients. Who survives will probably be left with with chronic conditions caused for example by storing to the lungs or storing to the kidneys other studies have also linked the disease to the heart damage and also to reduced liver function and then of course there are the Long Term Mental Health issues directly caused by the the psychological trauma that covert 19 can bring especially for patients who have to be intubated on or ventilated but the virus simply hasnt been around long enough for us to make too many assertions about what the long term effects of catching it will be.
