The prestigious German virologist sandra, predicted what will happen after the end of the pandemic. Explaining first that ending the pandemic does not mean the end of the virus in the world.
One of the most recognized scientists today spoke about what she thinks the post-coronavirus future will be like. Although she, in truth, considers that relaxation cannot be expected in the near future.
At the end of last year he had warned that the coronavirus would continue to increase throughout Europe and it was accurate.
The importance of vaccinations
Focus magazine conducted an interview with the specialist last February, but now it has gone viral. Where the director of the Institute of Medical Virology of the Frankfurt University Hospital spoke about the vaccination campaigns.
When asked if the pandemic will end once everyone is vaccinated, Ciesek said cautiously:
“The pandemic will end, but the virus will remain. It will probably become an endemic virus”.
He explained that this was partly due to infections and partly due to vaccinations. And that this does not mean that the new coronavirus has been defeated.
Some countries such as Italy, Canada and Spain have started combining doses of coronavirus vaccines. Especially after it was found that vaccines from AstraZeneca caused potentially fatal blood clots. Even Angela Merkel, German Chancellor, received a second dose of Moderna having had a first from AstraZeneca.
Despite the warning, the expert explained that the new endemic virus “It could be similar to influenza, for which we have a kind of immunity.”
The role of the new generations
Ciesek, made reference to the role of children in the context. “There are always ‘new people’ coming into this world. If a boy is born, he has no immune protection.”
For the virologist, no later than kindergarten age, you will meet a larger group of people for the first time and are likely to become infected. Then, if children are not vaccinated against the virus, even in infancy, infections will recur again and again. So in the future, he anticipated that he expects children in particular become infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
In relation to vaccination in minors, the virologist observes that it is necessary to compare “the real benefit of vaccination and the fact that children do not usually get seriously ill”. In this sense, Ciesek wonders: “What good is the vaccine to this child if the infection is very likely just a cold? Parents will have to decide that in the future”.
Given the specialist’s statements, many wonder how we can live with a virus that has isolated us from everything. The scientist points out that over time humanity will learn to perceive Covid-19 as a disease that can attack and be controlled.
