A group of researchers proposed an experiment on an oral polio vaccine, due to its safety, low cost, affordability and ease of use. They claim that live attenuated vaccines elicit a strong and long-lasting immune response.
Dr. Robert Gallo of the Institute of Human Virology at the University of Maryland School Of Medicine offers an oral polio vaccine. Both poliovirus and coronavirus are positive chain RNA viruses, so it is likely that they can induce and be exposed to the general mechanisms of innate immunity. At the same time, experts emphasized that the vaccine gives a “staged" effect, while the population is immune to infectious diseases in 70-90% of cases. And plus, to this, the spread of the new coronavirus is reduced due to the greater amount of people’s immunity to it.
Currently, coronavirus infection has spread to more than 7 million people on the planet, the development of a specific vaccine for it is at different stages, and it may be fully tested and put into effect only next year. During this time, we risk losing even more of the population on Earth, due to the characteristics and severe course of infections, so now it is necessary to reduce these numbers by checking all possible options for solving this situation.
