Covid19 vaccines triggering global panic and the panic buying

Mutant strains of coronavirus were found in the United Kingdom and with the increasing transmission is a cause for serious concern not only for the huge masses in general but also is equally creating chaos in the healthcare services too. The major distribution of the first and foremost vaccines for the coronavirus has raised and provided hopes that an end of the pandemic most probably may be in sight, but is accomplished by some grave concern about it's side effects.

So an intriguing question n for all of us would be: WHAT WOULD BE THE NEWLY FOUND MUTANT STRAIN?

It all still ambiguous and there is no absolute certainty about the new mutant COVID-19 strain, three things have emerged from the spread; they are one that is rapidly replacing other earlier versions of the coronavirus. Second is the parts of the virus have demonstrated various new mutations. And third is some of these mutations have already been found to increase the current ability of the virus to infect every cell.

With these three important, and dangerous factors, it is understood that the new mutant virus strain is very rapidly and can spread fast and easily.Prime Minister of UK , Mr Boris Johnson said that the mutant coronavirus strain could be 70 per cent more transmissible which makes it more and more rampant and deadly.

But when we talk about it, until now there has been no clear evidence to suggest that the mutant coronavirus strain is more dangerous and deadly. Moreover that will need to be ascertained soon.

However, increasing transmission of the new mutant strain is a cause for concern not only for the whole population and also especially for the healthcare infrastructure.

How rampant is this virus.As the viruses go, the new mutant strain appears to be to be spreading swiftly. The very first case of Covid-19 pandemic was detected in September but by the month of November, around a quarter of cases in London were the mutant ones, according to the BBC reports.And by the mid-December, the figure increased to nearly two-third in total.

This variant strain has been detected across the UK because of its rapid spreading rate. For instance a similar variant has emerged in South Africa and that too with similar mutations but it appears to be a completely different strain disguised.

When talking about the changes detected in the mutant strain. A Recent and by an initial analysis it is identified that there are 17 potential alterations in the virus. There have been clear alterations in the spike protein with which the virus enters the body’s cells. One of such mutations changes the ‘receptor-binding domain’, which is one of the most significant parts of the spike. This is when the spike makes its maiden contact with the surface of the cells of the body. Alterations that make it more easier for the virus will also make it more transmissible too.

Now when you like at the working and it's efficiency on the mutant rampant Coronavirus strain, it is seen that so far there is no evidence to suggest that the vaccines are not working against the virus. All those leading vaccines operated by developing an immune are responding to the existing spike. What Vaccines does is it trains the immune system to attack and destroy several parts of the virus. Even if the parts of the spike mutate and become more strong, the vaccines should work against the virus.

In the recent news in India, it is making the mass unsettling when it was announced that there is the beginning its mass vaccination drive from that very soon, while the Chinese publication Global Times on Friday proclaimed that the health experts in the nation have called on Norway and other countries to stop and to suspend the use of Pfizer’s mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccine, after a reported cases of at least 23 deaths were reported by the local news outlets post-vaccination.

Recently, Norway has reported 23 deaths in connection with the practice of vaccination.

A matter to think about is that as told by the Chinese immunologist, the new mRNA vaccine was created in haste and had never been used on a large scale for the prevention of its pandemic, and its safety had not been guaranteed for large-scale use in humans.

The mentioned mRNA vaccines teach and give training to human cells in making protein to trigger an immune response and later, the immune response can protect people from getting infected if the pandemic virus enters the body. Also certain toxic substances may be developed throughout the process of mRNA vaccinations; thus, the safety of vaccines cannot be fully trusted and ensured, was what Yang said.

But still there is no need to hit the panic button so of a sudden just trusting over scattered reports claiming adverse reactions to Covid-19 vaccines that are being rolled out, is the advice given by the medical experts.

They commented that the major objectives should be on the wellbeing of the global population and the efficiency of the vaccine as how the vaccines could shield them from infections of coronavirus.

Mr.Datuk Dr Awang Bulgiba Awang Mahmud an Epidemiologist Professor said that every vaccine and medication had side effects along with them, which obviously occurs since all humans can be diverse in their response to a vaccine or a medicine.

So briefly the question is whether the vaccine benefits the situation is given importance or whether the side effects are transient or permanent.

It's also said that If the vaccine is very effective and also the side effects of the vaccine are relatively minor, and unnoticed it will affect a very meager proportion of the population and are transient, then one can actually accept that some people will suffer some side effects of three vaccines.

When you look at the body picture the majority, however, will enjoy the benefits of the vaccine in his comment for the New Straits Times.

He was putting forward his opinions on the reports of how some individuals had reacted and experienced adverse actions and reactions to vaccines that are being rolled out globally.

This international phenomenon of panic buying which is one of the top headlines of Covid-19 ,threatens the health systems’ ability to prevent and treat the coronavirus with shortages or less availability of hand sanitizers, masks, and pain relievers.

While the pandemic has drastically wreaked havoc on our daily routines, it has also created a renewed sense of community. The connectedness and global intimacy began as people voiced their concerns with panic buying and its impact on vulnerable populations due to underlying socioeconomic disparities and inequalities.

To talk about the vulnerable sections of people we can clearly say they are people when at these times of crisis the glaring disparities between the haves and the have-nots, the physically able and the disabled, the young and the elderly are notes conspicuously evident and visible. To protect citizens especially those who are in need of help but are affected with reduced mobility, households that regularly unavailable for food before the end of the month, or those who can only afford to stockpile when prices are lower than usual, and a lot other problems. So there is a dire need to prioritize vulnerable customers such as health care workers and the elderly and putting millions of health workers and patients at risk.

A proliferation of substandard and falsified medical products are also another serious reality that happens in these tough times. Let's all hope we will win this battle, prioritize the vulnerable and sidelined sections and emerge successfully.
