Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has said that antiviral drugs and antibody therapies could help reduce the number of deaths from the new Corona virus by code 19 by the end of this year.
In an interview with CNBC, Bill Gates said, “There is a strong possibility that the combination of new tools will significantly reduce the death rate by the end of this year, most of which will be for the time being.” When serious symptoms of COD 19 appear, it will be possible to treat patients before they go to the ICU.
Coronavirus death rates vary from country to country around the world, such as 15.2% in the UK, 1% in Saudi Arabia, and less than 4% in most countries.
Bill Gates said that the antiviral drug remedial is one of the few drugs that can be developed in such a way that it can be used before the onset of serious symptoms.
The drug has been approved for emergency use in the United States and Japan, and has been widely reported in various research reports.
Bill Gates said: “There are 2 more antiviral drugs that can be taken orally instead of IV fusion, so by the time this year 2 more antiviral drugs can be identified or some changes can be made to their formula. Are ‘.
He added: “While monoclonal antibodies are potentially more effective, while various companies are working hard on this, their trials are also moving very fast because you see the benefits of treatment more quickly than the safety benefits.” can see’.
The US government has signed a کروڑ 450 million deal with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals to buy its Code 19 antibody cocktail.
Antibody therapy eliminates the ability of the virus to escape while also protecting the cells that are targeted by the virus, although the patient usually needs several injections.
With regard to the treatment of code 19, Bill Gates hopes that this will help slow down the rate of code 19 epidemic before the vaccine is developed.
Earlier this month, Bill Gates said in an online speech that drugs to treat the Verona virus and future vaccines need to be provided where they are most needed, rather than those who pay more.
“If we give drugs and vaccines to the highest bidders instead of the most needy people and places, we will face a longer, unfair and deadly epidemic,” he said.
“We need leaders who can make difficult decisions about the supply of medicines and vaccines in an equitable manner,” he said.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has pledged کروڑ 250 million for Code 19 research, while Bill Gates announced in April that he would spend billions of dollars on vaccine development.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has also announced دینے 750 million for the Code 19 vaccine, which is being developed by the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom.
Millions of dollars provided by Bill Gates will be used to supply 300 million doses of the vaccine, and the first shipment is expected to be ready for delivery by the end of 2020.
In April, he said billions of dollars would be spent on building factories for the seven best coronavirus vaccines.
Bill Gates said that out of the various vaccines that are going through the stages of preparation, the best 7 will be selected and factories will be built for their preparation.
“Although in the end we will choose only two of them, we will invest in building separate factories for all the vaccines. Billions of dollars may be lost, but in the end the most effective vaccine factory,” he said. There will definitely be time for that.
He said the simultaneous preparation of the vaccine and the simultaneous construction of the factory were essential for the rapid development of the vaccine.
“We will save many months like this because every month is precious at this time,” he said.
In a blog post, Bill Gates highlighted the process of vaccine development and distribution.
He wrote that it takes 18 months to develop a vaccine but he thinks that the vaccine against corona virus will be ready as soon as possible in 9 months or at most 2 years.
“Right now, 115 different code 19 vaccines are being developed, 8 to 10 of them look much better to me and our agency will keep an eye on them all,” he wrote.
Bill Gates said that for the best vaccines, a variety of strategies should be followed to protect the body against code 19.
He also explained the types of vaccines that are live and inactive.
These active vaccines use the dead version of the bacterium, while the live vaccine uses a small amount of the live bacterium.
Bill Gates explained that these methods are traditional and reliable but require more resources and slow down the preparation process.
“I’m excited about two new methods, RNA and DNA vaccines,” he said.
“Instead of injecting a germ into your body, give the body the genetic code that helps it produce antigens to fight the germs. When these antigens appear outside the cells, the immune system attacks them.” Will attack, and will learn the future
