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.
生物科技首席执行官乌格尔·沙欣告诉英国《金融时报》，到2022年年中，可能需要辉瑞和生物技术开发的新冠肺炎疫苗新配方，以防止未来对当前疫苗产生抗药性的病毒突变。
-- 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.
--目前的疫苗对Delta和其他流通中的疫苗仍然有效
冠状病毒的变种，它们的有效性可以通过
助推器注射。但未来的突变可能需要一个“量身定制”的版本，
沙欣说。这是一种持续的进化，而这种进化刚刚
开始了。“
-辉瑞-生物技术疫苗是第一种上市的新冠肺炎疫苗
第一个基于监管机构批准的mRNA技术，目前
世界上最畅销的药物。已有超过1.018亿美国人
已经完全接种了疫苗，近390万人接种了
助推器注射。
-沙欣拒绝了分享疫苗专利的呼吁，称这样做会有风险
质量控制。辉瑞首席执行官阿尔伯特·鲍拉表示，共享专利将
抑制创新。辉瑞和BioNTech计划开发一种
南非制造厂，帮助增加南非疫苗供应
非洲。
--美国航空公司、捷蓝航空公司和阿拉斯加航空集团已强制接种疫苗
对于员工，以联邦承包商的要求为由。在阿拉斯加，
新冠肺炎感染率居美国之首，医院实行定量配给
氧气、ICU床位和护理有利于患者最有可能存活。
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.
接下来是什么：疾病控制和预防中心建议美国人在室内节日派对上打开窗户和门，并使用窗户风扇来保持空气新鲜，或者更好地，举办与社会保持距离的户外聚会，以增加室内节日派对的通风。它还说，没有接种疫苗的人不应该旅行。
