Reporter in december, 2019, while most of the world was celebrating the holidays. In the Industrial City of wuhan, china, home to 11 million people, the virus was spreading. At first, it seemed like a local problem. A newly identified, deadly virus from china. 45 cases have been reported in china, including two deaths. The chinese city of wuhan locked down. More than 600 infected and its spreading fast. Fear it could spread further. Reporter it was over there, in china, where, frankly, theyve had a lot of outbreaks over the years. China has reported 136 cases of the bird flu. Emergence follows that of the fatal strain last year. Chinas desperate bid to control the latest, bird flu virus. Reporter but this was no bird flu. And the world, soon, began to take notice. St. Marys hospital, in london, has a long and storied history fighting disease. Penicillin was discovered here, in 1928. It revolutionized medicine. Today, researchers here from Imperial College are working for another, radical breakthrough. I think we will see technology that completely changes the way vaccines are being made. And covid19 is allowing us to try those technologies. Reporter back in january, professor robin was watching the news coming out of china, with growing concern. At that stage, it wasnt a pandemic. It was an outbreak in wuhan. And at that stage, when youve got a few thousand cases, it could be a blip. It could go away. Why did you think that it would just be a china bug, instead of a worldwide pandemic, initially . Because weve often seen small outbreaks of different viruses, that come and disappear. Reporter but this virus wasnt disappearing. It was multiplying, exponentially. When i heard about wuhan, i didnt pay that much attention to it, until it was clear that it was escalating. Reporter professor peter has spent his long and celebrated career fighting infectious diseases. He and a colleague discovered ebola in the 1970s. Pyatt was a in the battle against hiv and aids. For years, i was we have to be prepared for the next, big one. A virus that is transmitted airborne, respiratory transmitted, and we are not prepared for it. But it was respiratory transmitted. In wuhan, see far more cases than, in total, we had with sars. And then, i thought we were in trouble. You have got asymptomatic transmission. And so, it was almost impossible to lock the world down in a way that would have kept it contained in one part of the world. Is that its hidden strength . That it can be passed on by people who dont know they are sick . Yeah. I think that is the reason it got transmitted very efficiently. Reporter as the virus spread from one unsuspecting carrier to the next, china swung into action. Its first move was to silence and discredit the doctor who sounded the alarm. When that didnt work, the government swooped in, with all its authoritarian might. If you had a fever, you were found. And if you refused to go quietly, you were rounded up. And if you still refused, you were barricaded inside your home. But, china did Something Else that few people noticed. It made a call for help. An appeal to the world. Written in genetic code. Each virus, just as each individual, we have a unique set of nucleic acids. This is the genetic code that really makes who we are, in addition to our environment and our education. And you can identify a virus, exactly, on that kind of code. Reporter just like people, viruses are biological formulas. They are nothing more than strings of genetic code. And on january 10th, just weeks into the outbreak, chinese researchers did something extraordinary. They cracked the viruss code, and published that code online. On the base of that sequence, you can also tell which parts of the virus are going to be important for the immune response, how we react to it. If you have that sequence, you can do lot of things. That really provided everybody in the world with a blueprint that they could use for their different vaccine technologies. So in many ways, that was firing the starting gun for all these different vaccine candidates. This is the code china published online. This is sars covi 2. 30,000 characters. The exact formula for what has been disrupting all of our lives and killed more than a million people. By putting the formula online, china was saying to the world, heres the enemy. Now, help us defeat it. Well, the best and brightest minds saw what china had posted and took up that challenge. Once you have that code, the first thing you can do is to say this is you . Weve never seen this virus before. And on the base of that code, you can replicate it in the lab. We felt we should actually stand up to the plate and make a vaccine. But thats when we started to get going. Reporter the race for a vaccine had now begun. And the first step was understanding the virus, in minute detail. The coronavirus is a tine think sphere. So tiny, that 100 million of them can fit on a pinhead. You cant see them under a normal microscope. Viruses cannot survive without a living cell. Whether thats animal or a human or a plant cell. Because they are incomplete in their survival mechanism, and thats why they will always be looking for human beings, in the case of viruses, to survive. The coronavirus has a unique way of getting into our cells. Through the spikes that act like little claws. Theyre called coronaviruses for a reason. You know, its a crown with spikes. And its these spikes that really are going to penetrate into the cells. They work as the kind of attachment process to gain entry into cells. So if you didnt have those bits on the surface, the virus would be dead. Because it would be smooth. It would just move along, wouldnt attach to anything. So, the surface protein, that no those spikes recognize a receptor that allows the virus to dock onto cells, gain entry into those cells, and initiate the infection process. The spikes are the viruss greatest weapon. But they are, also, its greatest weakness. And these tiny spikes are the target of every major vaccine in development. Vaccines were first invented to treat small pox, 200 years ago, by the british dr. Edward jenner. The National Academy of Sciences Says there was not a single case of small pox reported anywhere on this planet, last year. Reporter and since they were first introduced, vaccines have barely changed. Vaccines are actually biological products that try to mimic a natural infection. So, you inject, could be, against measles or whatever. Its a fake infection. You fool the immune system. The immune system thinks, oh, im infected with measles. Reporter most of the vaccines we get and give our children today for mumps, measles, or rubella are simply weakened viruses. We trick our bodies into triggering an immune response. Our bodies do the rest. Vaccines have saved more lives than any other medical discovery, in human history. Making vaccines has been a slow and laborintensive process. They had to be grown, often in chken eggs, one at a time. Now, technology is changing everything. In the race for the Covid Vaccine, scientists are going right to the genetic code. There are more than 100 vaccines in development. They have different approaches, but they all have the same goal. To get our bodies to recognize those little spikes, and prevent them from locking on. Our body reacts because its a foreign invasion. And one part of the defense are socalled antibodies. These are the ground troops. What they do is they protect the cell by basically coating the whole virus with antibodies, so that the virus cant penetrate the cells. These antibodies lock on to the surface of the virus, on to those spikes, and mean that the virus can no longer get into the cells. So its keeping outside of the cells and rendering it noninfectious. Reporter finding a vaccine is the key to reopening our societies. It is the holy grail of medicine, today. And the Biggest Surprise may be that scientists created a vaccine almost as soon as the virus broke out. Back in january, when china published the genetic code online, professor fed those 30,000 characters into a computer. The next day, he had a design for the vaccine. A recipe, on a computer at least, to kill the coronavirus. Thats the speed at which people can move, in terms of that design element. Then, the next thing is to take that that computerdesigned construct and actually put it together in the laboratory. To take it off the computer screen, and put it into the real world. Yes, and that took a couple of weeks to do that. To verify that it was working in the laboratory. And then, start looking at whether it actually induced an immune response in animals. But, even thats mind blowing. So, you get the formula. In a day, the computer spits out a code for a vaccine. And then, just a few months later, you have a prototype vaccine. Yeah. So, here, at this unassuming lab and its several laboratories worldwide, scientists had, not just an idea for the vaccine but, a real prototype vaccine, capable of neutralizing the coronavirus within weeks of the outbreak. What we didnt know, whether it would work, whether it was safe. Now, the real challenge is will it produce the right immune response in humans . And then, will it be protective . Reporter and herein lies the problem. Scientists were sure they could cure the virus but would the cure kill us, in the process . At the end of january, dozens of laboratories in asia, europe, and the United States, were focused on making a vaccine that was, both, safe and effective for the entire world. With so much at stake and so much to gain, the race for the vaccine got dirty. With false claims, propaganda, and cyberattacks. And whoever obtains the vaccine first, not only obtaining the actual vaccine, manufacture it, put it in a vial, distribute it, all the way to inoculation, in hundreds of millions of doses, is going to be the geopolitical leader of the world.

The kremlin had initially downplayed the pandemic, and paid a price for it. But then, president Vladimir Putin made a surprise announcement. A major, medical milestone reached here, in the past couple of hours. Russia officially started rolling out a vaccine. If this claim turns out it be true, russia could be declared putin has made no secret of russias ambition to be the first to win the vaccine race. Sputnik v. V for vaccine, named after the first satellite ever launched into space by the soviet union. The Scientific Achievement by soviet russia in beating the United States of america in the race to launch the first, manmade reporter putin launched a pr campaign with graphics showing how russias vaccine would save the planet. Translator i know that our vaccine works effectively, forms a strong immunity, and i repeat, it has passed all the necessary checks. Reporter but thats not exactly true. Every covid19 vaccine candidate must go through at least three phases of human trials. Phase one. Is the drug safe for humans . A small number of brave volunteers try the drug to see if research should continue. Phase two. An expanded number of volunteers take the vaccine. Their health monitored, regularly. And phase three. Does it work on a large scale . Tens of thousands of volunteers are given the vaccine to check for adverse reactions, which could be rare but important when trying to vaccinate the entire world. Russia only went to phase two and declared victory. I dont find it acceptable that you take shortcuts, injecting lots of people with materials that have not been really well documented for efficacy and, you know, and safety. Its not something that would be acceptable here. If we would try to do that, it would be, not only unethical but, also, it would deter people from being vaccinated. If i didnt believe in the vaccine, if i didnt understand the Science Behind it, i would never have injected myself with it. Reporter the head of a russianstatecontrolled investment fund, hes part of putins inner circle and hes the pitchman for russias main vaccine. What would you say to people who are skeptical . Say, i dont want to take some russian vaccine thats been rushed through the system. Of course, people will have a choice. I think, again, we need to make sure the Different Countries have a choice. Have all the data available. You know, we could have been very hidden about our vaccine. We could have just vaccinated our people, not sharing the nature of the vaccine, not sharing information. But this is not the approach we are taking. And i think, again, this is something that has to be respected. Reporter putin said he even gave his daughter the vaccine. Putin has two daughters. Hes very secretive about them. One is believed to be a scientist. The other, a competitive, rockandroll dancer. He didnt say which one took the vaccine. Russia wasnt alone. China has gone even further. It has begun rolling out its vaccines. Giving doses to medical personnel, the military, and students. China seems to be doing some phasethree trials. The ones that test for side effects in large populations on its own people. Clearly, the national prestige, projection of scientific prowess, my system of government is better than yours, you know, capitalism versus communism. All of that is at play. And i think, you know, the race for a Covid Vaccine is the race for the moon, on steroids. Reporter lawrence is a professor of Global Health law at georgetown university. He was also on the board for pandemics at the world health organization. It really is becoming a geopolitical race for bragging and boasting rights. I dont think we should fool anyone to think there is a collaborative mindset across the globe with nation states in this effort. Its a battle space, economically, geopolitically. Reporter he is the u. S. Governments mostsenior spy hunter. We continue to see efforts by both russia and china and others to not only beat us to the race with producing the vaccine. But also, aguegressive attemptso steal what we are producing in the trial phases, in the researchanddevelopment phase. Is, right now, the vaccine the primary target that hackers and cyber spies are trying to to discover . Steal . Theres probably not a whole lot more thats more important, in the world, right now than a race for this vaccine. Almost certainly linked to russian intelligence have been targeting scientists in britain. Weve sort of been seeing targeting from a whole range of actors. The one weve called out specifically was russia. Reporter paul heads operations at the uks Cybersecurity Division at gchq, britains equivalent to the nsa. To take an interest in the uk response to coronavirus when the world was i think sort of really realizing the importance of the situation it find itself in. These are direct operatives working for the government . In this instance, we believe it is russian intelligence services, directly. Reporter british Officials Say they caught the russians thaz tried to steal data from Oxford University and its vaccinemanufacturing partner, astrazeneca. What we see is potentially theft of intellectual property and data behind trials and some of the research. American authorities and british authorities have accused russia of hacking. Of trying to steal scientific information regarding vaccines. What do you say to that . Afraid of russians having a sputnik sort of vaccine. Being first out there when there is nobody else out there. But again, we are not focused on being the first. The world needs to put the previous political barriers aside. Reporter but while russia appears to be the epitome of global cooperation, state media have spread disinformation and cartoons smearing rival vaccines. Suggesting they could turn you into monkeys. How successful have they been . How much have they managed to steal . How much have they managed to disrupt, destroy, confuse . I cant get into what they have potentially stolen or what their Operational Success is but lets just say theyve been superaggressive. A lot of the work being done in russia and china has already been predicated on stolen research here in the u. S. How do you know that . We see a lot of the same signatures on our vaccines as we see on their vaccine. There is only one place they could have got it from. In july, the u. S. Government formally accused two governmentlinked hackers of stealing u. S. Also closed the chinese consulate in houston, texas, labeling it a center of espionage. As chinese officials were leaving, consulate staff could be seen burning what appeared to be documents outside the building. Covid has become the economic battle space as we move forward to the next couple years. D to the next couple years oooh. You meant the food, didnt you . But we are hoping things will pick up by q3.

Reporter whoever wins the vaccine race may win the world. But, theyd better hurry. Infections now building across the country, again. After a summer of lowinfection rates, europe is now seeing a rise, forcing new restrictions. For the first time, every region of the world will face recession, simultaneously. More than 30 million americans remain unemployed, amid the corona voivirus pandem. Reporter as soon as we think we have one outbreak under control, another wave hits. Bringing lockdowns, dividing families, destroying economies, killing well over a million, and stretching our hospitals to a breaking point. Coff coventry. Now, its under attack by another enemy, from the air. One intensivecare nurse, lisa, knows all too well. It feels like theres no end to it. You know . Just feel like youve come out of a dreamlike sequence. Is that depressing . Is it frightening . It is. Its anxiety. I think thats the feeling among most people. Its just this deeprooted anxiety. And yet, were starting all over again. How are you holding up, personally . Okay. Ive got an old victorian house that i am renovating that keeps me busy. I sort my house out. I have got my family, my children, my partner, and my dog. They keep my sipirits up. You are able to find relief for the stress. Although, both my children tested positive three weeks ago. A vaccine. Uhhuh. What would it mean for you . What would it mean to this hospital . The vaccine would be a lifesaver. Would it give you more confidence . Every time you come to work, youre putting yourself at risk. And you go home, and you are putting your family at risk as well. And the risk is compounded, over time. Every day. Every day, youre having the risk but now its every day for months and months and months. Reporter the only way to break this covid cycle is a vaccine. We know scientists had a prototype for the vaccine, right at the beginning, based on the genetic code that china posted online. In some ways, the fast and the easy part is making the vaccine because its all about genet genetic code and synthetic biology. So, we were able to create a prototype within two weeks. So, very, very quick. We are injecting virological materials in healthy people. And we are going to in billions of people who need so we cant take shortcuts. The only way is observe, in utmost detail, tens of thousands of people, for long enough, that we in good certainty that this vaccine is really safe. And the best place to test the vaccine is where the virus is out of control. Covid hit south africa hard. South africa has reported a sharp rise in the number of coronavirus infections. Nearly 11,000 new cases were reported on saturday. South african officials have warned that the countrys Health System is approaching the brink. The coronavirus storm has, indeed, arrived as we said it would. Reporter especially, in the townships. Elvis is a lifeinsurance salesman in the township once famous for resisting apartheid. Today, its battling covid. How are you . Good. Okay. I just wanted to help to find a cure because now this covid19 has changed south africa a lot. Reporter elvis is one of 5,000 South African havolunteer taking part in trials for vaccines from astrazeneca and novavax. Elvis sees the trial as an opportunity to help his generations struggle. I decided to volunteer to get these cures so i can be able to assist all of south africa with this new vaccine that we are trying now. Reporter but there is another reason elvis is volunteering. The trial comes with free health care. Theres a lot of things that were happening to me besides covid19 because there would be chest pain. Like, everything. Because, if you go to a doctor and you want to do those tests, personally, you pay a lot of money. We dont have that kind of money. Reporter but many South Africans are angry. They feel Drug Companies are treating africans like guinea pigs. Im not happy at all. This feels like 1980 all over, again. When the aids pandemic. Its like the same thing, like a replay. This time, theyre doing it in our face. Resentment over testing in africa is turning people against the vaccines. Would you take the vaccine . Never. Elviss own family wont see him. Big brother told him that i started with the study of vaccine. On monday, im going back there. Lets go back. He refused. No, no, i cant go there. These people will inject you with covid19. Reporter but even with the virus raging in south africa, elvis never caught it. So, researchers dont know if the vaccine hes taken works, or not. His trial is inconclusive. In the united kingdom, they have come up with a controversial way to guarantee results. A secure wing has been set up at londons Royal Free Hospital where volunteers will be infected with the coronavirus, on purpose. 90 Healthy Volunteers, age 18 to 30, will come to this hospital, get vaccinated. And then, tilt their heads back and be given tiny droplets of the coronavirus. In a normal trial, the volunteers may never contract the virus. Here, the virus meets the vaccine, every single time, which is why its called a challenge trial. Its bold. It gets results. But it is senatnot for the fainthearted. Instead of going about your everyday life in the community, you would, instead, have a stay in a biocontainment facility where you would be intentionally exposed. A graduate student from Johns Hopkins university, living and studying in the uk. Is anyone signing up to do this . Raising their hand to say, sure, infect me with with coronavirus. Yeah. Over 30,000 people from Different Countries. We have found ourselves in a situation where we have hundreds of millions and a lot of that cant be resolved until we see a vaccine that is distributed on a level weve never had to do before. We think its of utmost important that we get that happening, as soon as possible because that gets us one day sooner to getting back to normal. What happens if someone dies . When you are explaining how this works, they are definitely informed and it is acknowledged there is a risk of death. You are not a supporter of challenge trials. Why not . I am not a supporter of challenge trials at the moment because, what do they do . They inject Healthy Volunteers with a virus for which we have no cure, at the moment. If we had a cure and effective treatment, i would be all for it. But theyre volunteers. Young men and women sign up to go to war. Thats a good point. But we also have medical ethics and the ethics say you should not harm people if there is no backup to to save them. Then, you go into experiments that used to be done but we dont do these days, anymore. Reporter but no matter how much risk volunteers are willing to take, the vaccines success or failure depends, entirely, on distribution. Teen years ago, subaru created the share the love event. Where our new owners could choose a national or hometown charity. And subaru and our retailers would proudly make a donation. But now, in times like these, companies are having a hard choice to make.

Whatever your type, epclusa could be your kind of cure. I just found out about mine. I knew for years. Epclusa has a 98 overall cure rate. I had no symptoms of hepatitis c mine caused liver damage. Epclusa is only one pill, once a day, taken with or without food for 12 weeks. Before starting epclusa, your doctor will test if you have had hepatitis b, which may flare up, and could cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. Tell your doctor if you have had hepatitis b, other liver or kidney problems, hiv, or other medical conditions. And all medicines you take, including herbal supplements. Taking amiodarone with epclusa may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. Common side effects include headache and tiredness. Ask your doctor today, if epclusa is your kind of cure. Is often unseen. Because the pain youre feeling could be a sign of irreversible joint damage. Every day you live with pain, swelling, and stiffness. You risk not being able to do the things you love. Especially in these times, its important to keep up with your rheumatologist. Schedule an appointment today. For nearly a year, scientists have been working at breakneck speed. Drug companies are developing new vaccines, at record speed. Under normal circumstances, it would take more than ten years. But researchers say they think they could have a Covid Vaccine in 12 to 15 months. Bioengineering it and then testing it on armies of volunteers. But the vaccine will only work if lots and lots of people take it. Look. Covid anywhere is covid everywhere. Bill and Melinda Gates have donated 6 billion to vaccination programs over the years. No two individuals have done more to Champion Development of a Covid Vaccine. If you could get everybody to accept a vaccine, if you still have covid raging in another country, its going to bounce back into our borders. Borders. Dont need visas and passports. And as long as not all countries are free of covid, no country is safe. But if ive taken the vaccine, im safe. Why do i care if the country, to my north or south, has the vaccine or not . Vaccines are not going to be the silver bullet. Its unlikely that certainly the first generation of vaccines are going to protect 100 . The fda said if it protects 50 of people against severe disease and dying from it, then it can be, you know, approved. So its not necessarily going to stop the spread of the virus. If you want to control the virus spread by by blocking transmission, then you need to have very high rates of vaccination. That may be 70 to 80 of any population. Its like the fire brigade. If the house is on fire of your neighbor, you cant say i dont want to support the fire brigade because its only my neighbors home. No, we need it all. Reporter luckily, there is a worldwide fire brigade. The covax pillar aims to ensure every country gets fair and equitable access to eventual Covid Vaccines. Reporter its name is covax. An International Vaccine coalition, which may be the most Important Initiative today that most people have never heard of. Seth berkeley is one of its creators. To end the pandemic, you have to take a global view. We know this started in wuhan as a point outbreak. And within a few months, we had cases within 180 countries. This is not a virus thats going to stay contained. Its going to continue to move around unless we tamp it down. A very specific plan to end the pandemic. The goal of this is to have 2 billion doses available by the end of 2021. A billion doses would upper, middleincome countries. And a billion to low and middle income countries. 2 billion doses to the people most likely to spread the virus. So the idea would be to try to Vaccinate Health Care Workers across the world. Thats a relatively small percentage of the population but they are at highest risk. More than 175 countries, so far, have signed on to the covax plan. And one company is already making vaccines for the big rollout. Theres always been a race for making vaccines for emerging diseases and other things. To compress that in a matter of a year or two years. Thats whats really unprecedented. Adar is the cmo of the largest vaccine manufacturer in the world. The company was founded by his father, who first used horse blood to create vaccines in the 1960s. Today, the horses are for racing while the factory turns out 1. 5 billion doses of vaccine a year for every known ailment. 65 of all children in the world receive at least one of its vaccines. And now, even as trials continue, they have deals to mass produce five different Covid Vaccines. Two of them will be given to Health Care Workers through the covax program. In exchange for making the vaccines for the world, india gets half. I made it very clear even to the Indian Government that its better to have a 50 50 strategy where everything coming out, 50 would go to my country. And 50 to the rest of the world. Because we do want the rest of the world to, also, restart. Reporter the city of pune, with a population of more than 6 million, is one of the hardesthit areas of india. You dont have to go far outside the factory gates to understand how badly india needs a vaccine. So does the United States. But President Trump decided not to participate in covax. And for the United States, to go it alone, instead, with its own program called operation warp speed. Is that right . Is that the smart approach . No, that is not the smart approach. The u. S. Should be, not only participating but, should be a leader at the table. How would you assess President Trumps leadership in this time of covid . Well, i was asked earlier during the pandemic for a specific rating and i gave a d minus as a response. And i would say it hasnt changed. You know, if you are running a company, there is the old adage of the buck stops here with the ceo. Well, the buck stops with the leader of our country. So, you lay this at his feet. He could have created a National Testing plan with good contact tracing, isolation, and quarantine. Vietnam did that. Look at their numbers. Theyre outstanding. Look at germany. Look at at new zealand. We should expect that of our leader, not what we have been getting. Reporter but President Trump has done much more than just opt out of the worldwide plan to defeat the pandemic. Hes made so many false statements about the virus, Many Americans have become totally confused and skeptical. It goes away in april. All work out fine. No reason to be panicked. Its like a miracle. It will disappear. We have an invisible enemy. We have a problem. They cant handle the bodies. I think thats really dangerous. And if people dont have the you know, the absolute trust, we may end up with a situation where we have a vaccine. But then, people say i dont want to take this. Reporter and if people are not willing to take a vaccine, theres no point in making one. May your holidays glow bright and all your dreams take flight.

So this is the original prototype vaccine. It needs to be kept cold so it cant be out of the freezer for too long, but thats where we started with our prototype made in the laboratory. The tube containing the secret to potentially saving millions of lives wasnt even labeled. This was the first vaccine made back in january directly from the code for the virus china published online. Theres hardly anything in it. Thats because were using a very low dose to vaccinate individuals. So you dont need much of the vaccine. This is actually exciting for me. This is what were all hoping for, waiting for, a vaccine for covid. And this is the gen 1. This is the original starting material that we had right in the beginning of our story. And weve gone from making it in the laboratory to industrializing it and making it large scale so it can go into humans. But essentially the vaccine design has not changed. So its more or less the sail. What you had in the very beginning is what we still have now. Absolutely. And now we have thousands, tens of thousands of vials made on an industrial scale that are being tested in the clinic. So is this little tube a bit of history . Certainly a bit of history for us. Well, maybe for the planet. That would be nice. In the next room lab techs were preparing blood to test samples from volunteers whod taken the vaccine. So far so good. The key thing here is to see that theyre Still Producing antibodies several weeks into the trial. Exactly, yeah. Thats it. We can see theyve gone from no antibodies to a really high amount. But shaddock had one more thing to show me. So what is this in. This is now one of the vials of the actual vaccine that is going into the volunteers. So this is a vaccine . This is a vaccine. No longer a prototype. That is going into human beings right now. Thats going into human beings in our clinical trial. And it all started with that original prototype. It all started with that prototype. So when worldwide distribution begins, is that whats going to be going around the world . Tiny little bottles like that, and then you just put a syringe in, pull them out and and inject them. Did you think you were going to get from there to there . This is an exciting step for sure. Every step of the way is an exciting step, but every step you might have successful failure. But before leaving in a biosecure part of the lab i asked him the all important question. When do you realistically think generally were going to have a vaccine ready to go . I think well see the first candidate coming through by the beginning of next year. But itll still be a huge effort to make them available for everybody who needs them. There are several vaccines in the United States nearly identical to this one and at the same stage of development. So americans will get it. All of the vaccines about to be rolled out work more or less like the flu shots many of us already take. They wont make you permanently immune to the coronavirus. Instead they tamp down infection rates across populations. So for years to come people will still likely die from covid19 just like every year people continue to die from the flu. But Scientists Say once enough people take these vaccines the pandemic will end and well all get our lives back. How long that takes now depends more on politicians and Drug Companies. But the scientists, theyve done their part. I wanted to help protect myself. My doctor recommended eliquis. Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. Almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didnt experience another. And eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Whats around the corner could be your moment. Ask your doctor about eliquis. W [announcer] meet ther make familysized meals fast. And because its a ninja foodi, it can do things no other oven can, like flip away.
