How judicious is the COVID-19 Vaccination?

कोविड-१९ टीकाकरण में कितनी समझदारी है?

The facts

1.    The natural infection of most of the diseases if not lethal provide immunity:-

a.              Longer lasting immunity (always longer than afforded by any of the good vaccines).

b.             Provides Cross-protection against most of the variants (vaccine often fails at this front).

2.    Vaccines can put those at the risk (though very less than the natural infection) who are either not exposed to the infection or have no chance of getting the infection.

3.    None of the COVID-19 vaccine is tested for long term safety, stability, potency and longevity of the immunity afforded. Yes, short term studies have shown them safe. No testing in special target groups like those want to have kids in future, kids and specially-abled people.

4.    Most of the COVID-19 vaccines are genetically engineered (modified) but released into the market (in haste looking at the market ‘hot-cakes demand) and injected into our body without any hitch but advocated by all world authorities. However, genetically modified foods (GM Foods) are still not permitted to be eaten in most countries which are supposed to have a much lesser risk of modifying our genes and disturbing the environment. To me, it is the short cut permission to GM type of half tested vaccines that may pave the way to the release of GM foods in future.

5.    For most of the poor people of the world COVID-19 vaccine is not affordable and will remain so.

6.    Nobody knows and not approve the superiority of one vaccine over the others (about half a dozen are available in the world market). That means all the vaccine are either equally effective or equally ineffective, both are the false statements only.

7.    Any of the vaccine is neither being used to generate herd immunity (evident by the vaccination program implementation) nor to protect masses but all can afford some personal protection and benefit the pharmaceutical market.

8.    It is claimed that immunity of COVID-19 vaccine after booster dose can last for three to ten months. Probably no country will be able to vaccinate its population that frequently even after payment by the people (almost impossible for most of the big and poor countries) that means there is no chance of generation of COVID-19 immune community or the immune world.

9.    The world is in short supply of the COVID-19 vaccine and expected to remain.

10.              Cold chain required for maintenance of the COVID-19 vaccines is certain to fail in most parts of the world thus the vaccine and vaccination both.

11.              Majority of the people in many of the countries are reluctant to have COVID-19 vaccination even in a developed and educated world so no question arises for achieving herd immunity.

12.              Hardly 15 in 1000 of exposed get sick of COVID-19 (without any vaccination) and of the 100 sick a few (3-5) need hospitalization and 3-5% of those hospitalized have chance to die of COVID-19. What this mathematic tells us: Out of one million people about 300 to 400 have the chance of death due to COVID-19 even after exposure to the infection.

13.              Three to five people of every million people receiving COVID-19 vaccine are supposed to die due to anaphylaxis leading to death i.e., deaths due to COVID-Vaccine instead of COVID-19 disease are almost 1%. The other problems and complications of COVID-19 vaccines are there in the high frequency which you may never have if avoid getting an infection or have frequent COVID-19 infection after surviving the first one (as each infection afterwards acts as a booster.

14.              Generation of mutants or variants of COVID-19 virus is destiny in a partially immune population and a day will come when all the present-day COVID-19 vaccine will be almost useless as the antibiotics are. However, as the market driving forces have kept the antibiotic market still the biggest pharmaceutical market similar factors may keep up the demand for all (useless/ useful/ fake/ substandard) COVID-19 vaccines. It is already evident by a few variants now emerging as the dominant cause of the disease with higher spreadability, morbidity and mortality on which the vaccines in the market have already been shown of no or of little value.

15.              Humanity has to survive and will survive even without any of the vaccines despite thousands of diseases for which we have and don’t have the vaccines.

So what should be done for judicious use of vaccine?

1.    Protective antibody assay should be conducted on all to be vaccinated using some onsite rapid test before vaccinating.

2.    The people who have recovered from COVID-19 infection and have protective immunity should not be vaccinated to save precious dosages of the vaccine. It has become more pertinent to reports of more chances of induction of clot formation after Adenovirus vectored vaccine (CoviSheild/ AstraZeneca) in those with better antibody response.

3.    The people who have protective immunity should be allowed to move free of mask so that they can get natural boosters for maintaining their immunity.

4.    Immune people (either after recovery or after vaccination) should only be allowed to work in offices and in public (Almost impossible for election states).

5.    All shop-keepers, vendors, labourers, bank employees, veterinarians must be vaccinated on priority, in reality, they all are the front line workers. Medicos and policeperson too are front line workers but well educated to handle such situations and can afford to take their care to avoid getting and spreading infection.

The best option for COVID-19 Control with vaccination

   There should be no vaccination till we are ready to vaccinate the whole world within a short period of three months (i.e., in one go) to have Herd-Immunity at a given point of time otherwise Epidemiological studies in past had proved that partial herd-immunity is more dangerous in disease control strategy as it leads to the emergence of variants and mutants with increased pathogenic potential. The emergence and fast spread of more dangerous strains of COVID-19 in the last 3-4 months have proved it. The half-hearted or midway approach leads to the establishment of a disease as an endemic where high and low waves of local epidemics of the disease are certain to be seen.

Who says #Covid_19 vaccination protects from serious illness & death? As on 08-08-2021, Data speaks out something different!! Claims by @WHO @CDCgov & other #Pro_Vaccine #Propagndists seems to be all bluffs.
