fatalities. there s two other strategies, vaccine strategies, one is and all the manufacturers are working on this, to come up with vaccine specific to deal with omicron. problem is by the time they get that tested, approved, developed and manufactured, we may be over omicron. what i m looking forward to is what the army, walter reed research lab, is working on, a vaccine to deal with any and all covid, all coronaviruss in fact. that will be the game changer the world is waiting for, we ll have to wait and see, many months away. two shots not enough, definitely need a third, maybe a fourth as israel is doing, omicron specific, not sure in the time line but one vaccine for all variants we know of.
we realized very quickly, that the two shots, that most of us considered to be full vaccination, would not work effectively against omicron. so, we move to a third shot, a booster shot. and that proved to be pretty effective against omicron. but still not enough. and now we have omicron really raging out of control. besides the hospitalization increases that you mentioned stephanie, it is also been a increasing strange for may fatalities. there is two other strategies let s, vaccine strategies. one is, all the manufacturers are working on this, that they will come up with a vaccine that is specific to deal with omicron. the problem is, that by the time that they get that tested and approved and manufactured, we may be over omicron. so, when i m looking forward to, is what the army, research lab is working on. which is a vaccine that will
between sars cov 1 and sars-cov-2 and let s figure that out. there are a number of covid vaccine strategies in the works. unlike the mrna vaccines we ve come to know, at duke they re working on a nano-particle vaccine. there s multiple sites that can be recognized by antibodies. think of it like a soccer ball with tiny proteins stuck to the surface, even resembling a key site of the virus spike protein. so far in primates the vaccine appears to work. now a similar vaccine developed by military scientists has already made it into early human trials. but as exciting as this science is, it s going to take time and patience. i don t want anyone to think that pan coronavirus vaccines are literally around the cornner a month or two. it s going to take years to develop. much of the work being done today on covid is built on the
importance of interest to the legience of fans. i have been at a barbershop the other day and people were telling me about, i have a cousin that works for the doctor and they give me all these false information and i m siting in the chair going, you guys must be kidding me. you do what you want but the information is false. there are black doctors and scientists who worked on vaccine strategies and developing the vaccine. this is not an experiment. we have moved beyond that. lebron has huge influence with that. absolutely. he does. no question about it. you know my story in terms of the ceo of virtual health system
