We all know that some people are immune to the virus, yet it seems that some people are more susceptible to it. This was highlighted in the last week when a man in his 50s was diagnosed with COVID-19. This man had a positive result for the virus in his test and had a high fever. His doctor recommended he take a blood test, and he showed a positive result as well. This man also had a cough and was diagnosed with pneumonia.
The viral spread of COVID-19 (or Covid-19 in short) has affected both men and women, but it seems that women are most susceptible. The CDC has now tested over 9 million people in the U.S. and found that women have a very high rate of infection (the majority of the population is estimated to be asymptomatic or have very mild symptoms). This seems to be a result of women’s physiology.
Now that the virus has gone so far in the United States we need to find out what women are doing to keep themselves and their babies safe and healthy. To that end, the CDC has created a website with information and advice on how to take care of your loved ones. The only thing we don’t get is a COVID-19 vaccine.
This video from CNN, which is about Covid-19 vaccine being developed by Pfizer, is worth watching. The video features a woman who talks about how she has a family member that is a vaccinee and how she has no idea if her family member is or is not affected by the virus.
The thing is, though, that the person in the video, who is a vaccinee, is a woman. It is not known if Pfizer is planning to develop a vaccine that will work for men and women. Though the video is from a woman, its fairly clear that the person is a woman.
Pfizer’s not the only company thinking about vaccinating their employees, but it is a very small list of companies that are planning to vaccinate employees. Pfizer is a company with an incredible history of helping to change the world for the better through research. The fact that they are considering doing vaccine research on employees is a bit of a red flag because it implies their research is being done with a selfish agenda.
The idea that a company would purposely do research on employees and then vaccinate them is a bit of a stretch. But Pfizer is one of those companies that has historically been very social and philanthropic, so I’m not sure this is the best way to think about their research. Pfizer also has an incredibly successful science division, so the company is very well-positioned to do what they’d like.
One way to make sure that you’re not getting covid vaccine is to make sure that the people in your research group are not exposed to any of the virus. I know a lot of people who are involved with the Pfizer vaccine process. They’ve been through a lot, and I’m sure they are trying to do what they can to help.
I like this idea. Pfizer Research would certainly be able to get a lot of information about the disease and the vaccine from their own employees. As of right now, they are still trying to get the researchers to come in from outside the company for the vaccine trials, but I think this is a pretty smart way to ensure that the vaccine doesn’t come as a surprise and make things worse for patients.
One of the more interesting articles to come from the vaccine trial that Pfizer is running in China is the Covid-19 vaccine being administered to hundreds of people in Wuhan. The article indicates that they are treating the patients with an active vaccine, but with a dose of placebo that is just in case there is no obvious effect.
