WHO Reveals  Reasons for Corona Spread, No. of Causalities

The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, stressed that the continuation of the Coronavirus (known also as CPVID-19)  pandemic in the world is caused by inequality in access to vaccines and the lack of consistency in health measures.

"Both the inequality of access to the anti-Corona vaccines in the world with a mixture of inconsistent and unsystematic measures in the health care sector extends the pandemic, as the virus is given more room to transmit and mutate," Tedros said, during a security forum organized by South Korea on Tuesday.

He recalled that the Coronavirus had killed more than  5 million people, according to official data, but "the real number is much higher."

Tedros indicated  that "this pandemic represents a crisis of solidarity, the most prominent and complex of which is the fundamental weakness of the global health care structure."

However, the WHO  announced that it is waiting “impatiently” for the second generation of anti-Corona vaccines, which are not given through injections.

The organization's chief scientist, Soumya Swaminathan, said in statements published  by the organization's accounts on social media that she is "impatiently waiting for the release of the second generation of vaccines against corona, which may include nasal sprays or pills."

She added that "second-generation vaccines will be easier to use than needles and can be taken by themselves."

She noted that "these potential vaccines cover a full range of technologies."

She added that the advantage of a vaccine given through the nose, as is the case in some countries for influenza, is that it may treat the virus even before it reaches the lungs."

At least 129 vaccines are being reviewed, some of these vaccines are in clinical trials, and therefore tested on humans, compared to 194 vaccines that have not yet reached this advanced stage.
