Dr Robert Hess gives statement: Politicians overstep the mark with moves to impose a total ban on vector-based vaccines.
Dr Robert Hess thinks that the lobbying power of the various pharmaceutical manufacturers – especially in Washington, Brussels and Amsterdam – will prove strong enough to ensure the continued deployment of vector-based vaccines. The industry is able to make a convincing case that these vaccines are needed, especially in Third World countries. Firstly, because AstraZeneca is a very cheap vaccine to store and secondly because only a single dose of Johnson & Johnson has to be administered. These vaccines are therefore a good solution for countries with poor infrastructure.
