Great read.
Thanks for sharing and uploading that link.
I think the following couple of sentences are worth paying special attention too:
"we still haven’t learned the big lesson of Covid: a disease anywhere can be a threat everywhere. We can’t protect our own populations without working better with others. "
"If we had been buying vaccines earlier for countries with mpox, manufacturers might have tooled up to make more. As it is, the only big manufacturer, Bavarian-Nordic in Denmark, will be busy replacing the 5m stockpile doses the US used in 2022 until the end of the year. It can make only 10m by the end of 2025."
The biggest mpox vaccine manufacturer in the world can as it stands accordingly to the information in this article, currently only manufacture 10 million doses over the next 15-16 months or so.
I am afraid that if this kicks of like COVID did a few years ago, those 10 million doses is likely to have about as much effect as a snow cone in hell.
The article goes on to say the following:
"There is hope. BioNtech, the German firm that pioneered mRNA vaccines for Covid, has a promising one for mpox that could be faster and cheaper to make than the current vaccine. It is also building a vaccine plant in Rwanda. But its vaccine hasn’t yet cleared large-scale human trials."
For me this is where Hemogenyx comes in with their CBR technology, which might work against most viruses.
For arguments sake let's say that Hemogenyx can use their technology against mpox as quoted here about intranasal delivery from 14-2-2024
https://www.lse.co.uk/rns/HEMO/cbr-intranasal-delivery-ey6ohvg5ohi1jw1.html
"Once administered, nanoparticles were shown to successfully deliver mRNA into the immune cells of the URT and lungs. The immune cells in turn begin making CBR molecules within hours post-application, potentially becoming active "defenders" against airborne infections."
"Dr Vladislav Sandler, CEO & Co-Founder of Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals, commented: "This major breakthrough in the method of delivery of our CBR demonstrates that it could potentially be used as an off-the-shelf prevention and/or treatment for viral infections. Intranasal delivery of CBR would be both cost-efficient and easy to administer, making it ideal for the protection of both the civilian population and in biodefense.""
If CBR is effective against mpox in the lab then we will need to see the following to benefit Hemogenyx
A fast track approach to validate the safety of the product, we know it can be done fast, we experienced that with the vaccines for Covid-19.
If BioNTech can get help to fast track their product, I would expect that we can get the same.
And fast tracking products are indeed needed.
Its potentially to costly not to do so, can we afford a similar situation to a few years ago?
