Creator Astrazeneca vaccine: COVID collective immunity is impossible

Professor Andrew Pollard, Head of the Oxford Group on Creating a Vaccine from Coronavirus, collaborating with Astrazeneca, announced the impossibility of forming collective immunity from COVID-19, writes The Guardian.

Meeting with deputies of the British Parliament, Pollard said: “The problem is that this virus is not a measles virus. If you instill with measles 95% of the population, the measles virus can no longer be transmitted. The” Delta “strain will infect those who have soaked “.

Professor explained that the existing vaccines protect against the difficult flow of COVID-19 and death, but not from infection by emphasizing the importance of vaccination primarily to rescue lives.

Andrew Pollard noted that, judging by the conducted research and analytical forecasts, the human immune system, apparently, will “remember” about vaccinating within decades and will provide a certain degree of protection when meeting with coronavirus.
