There is a glimmer of hope from Australian scientists. They claim to have already developed the vaccine against the killer chorioanvirus, but it still takes several months before it can be administered to humans.
Three University of Queensland scientists in Brisbane believe the vaccine can immunize the body against COVID-19.
Dr. Keith Chappell, who has been studying viral protein stabilization, told the local media that there was a result " about getting a vaccine to work. We believe we are there."
His team worked on about 250 different formulations until they decided to choose a candidate called S-Spike, which is currently being tested in kits and will begin human testing in June.
Dr. Chappell explains that fully developing an injection for humans will take time.
" Creating a vaccine for seven billion people means something completely different ," he says, adding that researchers need to be wary of the commercial risks that could compromise its safety or efficacy.
He adds that the vaccine has been sought by identifying the infectious capabilities of the virus by means of new DNA 'molecular capture' technology.
The technology uses DNA sequencing published by China to produce a protein identical to that of the virus.
This protein is the essence of a vaccine, capable of generating immune system reactions that protect the body from infection.
