Even if MP18 is a major success, there will surely still be a place for vaccines.Aggie95 said:
hope this isn't another professor collaborating with the CCP....
in all seriousness...THIS is the best way forward. A very effective treatment will be better than the current vaccine that we have as the vaccines have clearly allowed too many breakthrough cases.
Side effects from vaccines are always a concern. However, I think that vaccines are generally much safer than many of the treatments for diseases. I'd rather have a very low risk vaccine than get sick and take the much higher risk medicines to treat the disease.river rat79 said:
Are you also concerned about side effects from the vaccines and long term effects from getting a booster every 6 months?
So vaccinated persons are getting covid as well has side effects but you want more information on MP18. I'd like more information on long term effects of the vaccine, as do many folks.eric76 said:Even if MP18 is a major success, there will surely still be a place for vaccines.Aggie95 said:

Vaccines help keep you from getting the disease. A treatment helps you recover from having the disease.
Even if MP18 turns out to be useful in prophylaxis for covid, there could easily be issues with side effects and taking it regularly for extended periods of time.
More information about MP18 would be welcome
You are confusing my "more information about MP18 would be welcome". That's not from concern but from curiosity about what the MP18 does, how it works, and, of course, its potential efficacy. Really, about all we have right now is the name, MP18, and that it has stopped replication of the virus in the lab.austinAG90 said:So vaccinated persons are getting covid as well has side effects but you want more information on MP18.

We have fantastic antibiotics to treat pneumonia, but we still vaccinate people for it. It's always better to prevent the problem than to try and treat it. Neither a great treatment nor a great prophylactic is going to make the vaccine obsolete.Aggie95 said:

Hope it won't be as useless as Tamiflu, which you can't get until 2 days after you need it. By then it's too late.
