Facebook Whistleblower Fires More Shots. Will Its -2-
A new formula for the Covid-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech might be needed by the middle of 2022 to protect against future mutations of the virus resistant to the current vaccine, BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin told the Financial Times.
生物科技首席執行官烏格爾·沙欣告訴英國《金融時報》，到2022年年中，可能需要輝瑞和生物科技開發的新冠肺炎疫苗的新配方，以防止未來病毒對當前疫苗產生抗藥性的變異。
-- Current vaccines are still effective against Delta and other circulating
variants of coronavirus, and their effectiveness can be bolstered with
booster shots. But future mutations could require a "tailored" version,
Sahin said. "This is a continuous evolution, and that evolution has just
started."
-- The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was the first Covid-19 vaccine to market, the
first based on mRNA technology approved by regulators, and is currently
the world's bestselling drug. More than 101.8 million Americans have been
fully vaccinated with it, and nearly 3.9 million have received its
booster shots.
-- Sahin rejected calls to share vaccine patents, saying doing so would risk
quality control. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has said sharing patents would
disincentivize innovation. Pfizer and BioNTech plan to develop a
manufacturing plant in South Africa, to help boost vaccine supplies in
Africa.
-- American Airlines, JetBlue, and Alaska Air Group have mandated vaccines
for employees, citing requirements as federal contractors. In Alaska,
which leads the U.S. in Covid-19 infection rates, hospitals are rationing
oxygen, ICU beds and care in favor of patients most likely to survive.
-目前的疫苗對Delta和其他流通中的疫苗仍然有效
冠狀病毒的變種，它們的有效性可以通過
助推器注射。但未來的突變可能需要一個“量身定做”的版本，
沙欣説。“這是一種持續的進化，而這種進化剛剛
開始了。“
-輝瑞-生物技術疫苗是第一種上市的新冠肺炎疫苗，
首先基於監管機構批准的mRNA技術，目前
世界上最暢銷的藥物。已有超過1.018億美國人
已經完全接種了疫苗，近390萬人已經接種了
助推器注射。
-沙欣拒絕了分享疫苗專利的呼籲，稱這樣做會有風險
質量控制。輝瑞(Pfizer)首席執行官阿爾伯特·布拉(Albert Bourla)表示，共享專利將
阻礙創新。輝瑞和BioNTech計劃開發一種
南非製造廠，幫助增加南非疫苗供應
非洲。
-美國航空公司、捷藍航空公司和阿拉斯加航空集團已強制接種疫苗
對於員工，以聯邦承包商的要求為由。在阿拉斯加，
新冠肺炎感染率居美國之首，醫院實行定量配給
氧氣、ICU牀位和護理有利於最有可能存活的患者。
What's Next: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is advising Americans to boost ventilation at indoor holiday parties by opening windows and doors and using window fans to keep air fresh, or better yet, host outdoor gatherings with social distancing. It also says unvaccinated people should not travel.
接下來要做的是：美國疾病控制和預防中心建議美國人在室內假日派對上打開窗户和門，使用窗户風扇保持空氣新鮮，或者更好的做法是舉辦與社會保持距離的户外聚會，以增加室內節日聚會的通風。它還説，沒有接種疫苗的人不應該旅行。
