Virology experts from various institutions of the world believe that it will be possible to completely suppress the COVID-19 pandemic and take control of its spread by the end of 2022. The current trend shows that mass vaccination is steadily weakening the Delta strain and its ability to mutate.
This is evidenced by material from Reuters magazine, compiled on the basis of forecasts of experts from the World Health Organization. By the end of 2022, this UN agency intends to vaccinate 70% of the world’s population.
“No one completely rules out what some call a ‘doomsday scenario’ in which the virus mutates to the point where it continually eludes hard-won immunity. But we think that between now and the end of 2022 we we will gain control over this virus. Then we will be able to significantly reduce serious diseases and mortality, “- said Maria van Kerkhove, chief epidemiologist at WHO, in an interview with reporters.
She added that already now experts are observing a positive downward trend in the aggressiveness of the Delta strain, this applies to countries and regions where the maximum number of citizens is vaccinated. At the same time, van Kerkhove is concerned about how quickly people are trying to free themselves from epidemiological precautions.
“It’s amazing for me to see people on the streets, as if everything is over. But this can provoke a new wave of a pandemic,” the scientist concluded.
As previously reported OBOZREVATEL, Ukrainians who did not want to get vaccinated against coronavirus before, began to massively change their point of view… This was influenced by real cases of complications during the illness of their loved ones, the exposure of myths and substantive discussions with the attending physicians.
