The people are confused. All companies that are rushing to make the Covid vaccine are putting out figures that the dose will be "94.5% effective" or "70% effective". People say that if no vaccine is 100 percent effective, then what is the use of taking the vaccine and still living in fear? They are also asking that if the vaccines are not one hundred percent effective, then how the world will win against coronavirus.
The people are also worried about the distribution channels and the logistics of handling the vaccine as reports in the media have indicated that some vaccines (especially the one being made by Pfizer) will need to be stored at minus 70 degree Celsius. They say that it would be impossible for India to use that vaccine (said to be 94.5 percent effective) as it does not have the infrastructure of cold chain required to handle it. They say that it is likely that the cost of that vaccine will also be prohibitive.
People are worried that even after the entire world's population undergoing severe hardships for the last 9 months, scientists across the world have not been able to come out with a perfect solution. They are wondering that since the coronavirus existed before and that Covid 19 is just a new, although much more dangerous, strain of the virus, why are scientists taking so long to find a cure or a vaccine. They also say that since the reports of frequent mutation of the virus have been rubbished by the Water Reed National Military Medical Center in the US, a cure or vaccine should have been found much earlier.
People say it is scary that even after everything returns to the old normal (and most cities in India have already become the crowded, bustling and busy places they were before the lockdown) and with schools and colleges slated to reopen anytime soon, the world will have to be content with only a partially preventive vaccine and a cure is still not in sight. People say that it is becoming clear that since the Indian government will go for the 70-percent effective Oxford vaccine, they will have to live in 30 percent fear.
