Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for COVID-19

"In the United States, the annual incidence rate for symptomatic infections with SARS-CoV infection and virus RNA detected in whole-blood (i.e., SARS-CoV RNA in RT-qPCR samples of whole blood specimens) has been about 0.35% during the period 2000-2018 (n = 5,919), with higher levels for the period 2012-2017 (0.37%, n = 4,051) and very low levels (less than zero) for the periods 1990-1996 (0.08%, n = 148) and 1976-1986 (0.19%, n = 21)." - Anonymous Online Contributor

"Generally, non-steroidal anti–inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and antiviral drugs are the most popular form of medicine in the disease, but there are certain limitations and it is important to use the drug at the onset of symptoms in order to reduce the spread and number of spread in the body. In people with serious illness especially the disease can also spread very rapidly from one patient to another in real life. From one patient to another, one needs to be cautious during and after the process of recovery. There is a recommendation for the use of oseltamivir and the latest vaccine (COVID-19 vaccine) is not effective or available in the country." - Anonymous Online Contributor

"It is impossible to cure Covid-19. Current treatment may slow the spread of infection but is not sufficient to eradicate it completely. The virus continues to circulate, even when the general population remains asymptomatic. The majority of people affected are mildly ill and recover within a short period after developing symptoms. Although some people with severe symptoms or complications may require hospitalisation, the benefits of the intervention generally appear to be small and the risk very high." - Anonymous Online Contributor

"Covid-19 is a viral infection arising from the coronaviruses and spreads easily from person to person through droplets and fomites; it typically evolves from asymptomatic or mild disease into an acute respiratory illness, possibly severe, with systemic symptoms and a fever, and then progresses into pneumonia, which is often severe, especially in the elderly. The severity and extent of disease can vary between individuals. The severity of disease is related to the individual’s underlying medical condition, viral genetics and immune status. People infected with coronavirus have a different immune profile to those with other infections and those with no other illness, and this may influence how serious and how long the coronavirus will remain in the body." - Anonymous Online Contributor

"It is important to note that the above parameters, including viral loads and treatment durations, are not stable or stable only with respect to the current outbreak. The reasons why they can or cannot be stable are still unclear. Some of them could be related to interactions of the virus with the host factors, while some could be related to the genetic polymorphisms of the hosts and their reactions to the virus. It is crucial to understand that the virus itself may or may not be the root cause of the disease, as the virus might simply be a coincidence." - Anonymous Online Contributor

"In terms of human to animal transmission of SARS, research from the United States suggests the SARS virus was unlikely transmitted to humans directly from its natural reservoir of civets. Instead, the SARS virus likely spread to humans from an intermediate host species like bats. Although the evidence suggests some humans caught SARS from the bats, the researchers found no evidence of the SARS virus in humans more than a year after the initial SARS outbreak in South East Asia. As a result, the researchers concluded that it unlikely humans caught SARS from bats." - Anonymous Online Contributor

"Based on limited retrospective data from a pediatric practice, in a real world situation it is difficult to determine if the prevalence of a mutation is increased in people with a positive family history of the condition." - Anonymous Online Contributor

"Results from a recent clinical trial indicate the safety of the PBO/IPV/MF59-biontech V520 and the PBO/MF59-biontech V520 formulations, regardless of immunization schedule for individuals receiving treatment with antiviral drugs to prevent infection by MERS-CoV in the setting of an MERS outbreak. A prospective randomized study is needed to evaluate safety of PBO V520 and IPV formulation vaccine in other cohorts and in individuals at increased risk for infection. A study to validate these results in a larger population is also warranted." - Anonymous Online Contributor

"While no cure can be found for covid-19, scientists want to find [a cure], because [if] you don't, the virus that causes it will be here, and then you've got a lot to worry about [other than] covid-19"

"The P-Bio BIVENZ(TM) H5N1 aVax1.3 vaccine was well tolerable and immunogenic, was well received by trial participants who reported higher QOL scores during follow-up. QOL is an important outcome metric for patients with confirmed H1N1/09 infection, especially those who were exposed to influenza or H5N1 and are medically stabilized.

"Patients presenting with CVHD symptoms could present with an increased need for care in the community. Clinicians will need to identify and address medical comorbidities in patients with CVHD. In a global health emergency, CVHD could be one of the earliest clinical manifestations of a severe disease affecting millions of people." - Anonymous Online Contributor
