Which country first developed COVID-19 vaccine?
Recently, exciting news came from the Chinese Academy of Military Sciences: the research team led by Academician Chen Wei of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences successfully developed the recombinant COVID-19 vaccine internationally. This is the team of Academician Chen Wei. Since they arrived in Wuhan on October 26th, 65438, they have raced against time and overcome many difficulties. On March 6th,/kloc-0, 6, they approved the recombinant novel coronavirus vaccine to start clinical trials! Academician Chen Wei said: Vaccine is the most powerful scientific and technological weapon to truly end COVID-19. If this weapon is first developed by China, China will have its own independent intellectual property rights in this special and key field, which not only reflects the scientific and technological progress of China, but also reflects the proper image of China as a scientific research power!

"As we all know, 60 days after China started sharing virus gene sequences, the first vaccine trial has started. This is indeed an incredible great breakthrough and achievement. " Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization, recently spoke highly of China's great progress in COVID-19 vaccine research at the WHO regular press conference on the latest news of COVID-19.

According to the latest report released by WHO in official website, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus mentioned in his speech on June 5438+08 that WHO has received more than 200,000 cases of COVID-19 and more than 8,000 people have died. More than 80% of cases come from the western Pacific and Europe.

In contrast, according to American media reports, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the United States also announced on 16 local time that a COVID-19 vaccine developed in the United States started the first phase of clinical trial on the same day, and the first volunteer has received the experimental vaccine injection, which is still in the observation period. According to the report, the clinical trial was conducted at Kaiser Medical Group Washington Institute of Health in Seattle, and about 45 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 55 will participate in the first phase of the clinical trial. In order to catch up with the development progress, the United States actually skipped some animal experiments in the process of vaccine development and directly conducted human trials. In fact, the final security consequences are still unknown.

SARS-CoV-2; Covid-19

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization, also expressed the determination and confidence of all mankind to unite to overcome the epidemic. Although the virus has brought unprecedented virus impact and life threat to the whole world. But it is also an unprecedented opportunity for scientific and technological innovation. All mankind should make every effort to cooperate with each other to deal with this common enemy of mankind, which has become the biggest enemy that harms human nature. What makes Tan Desai, Director-General of the World Health Organization, and people all over the world feel particularly gratified is that this time, China's army finally made the greatest contribution that can be remembered in history, and took the lead in successfully developing the recombinant COVID-19 vaccine in the world. This will also indicate that mankind will end its continuous invasion of COVID-19 as soon as possible and successfully control novel coronavirus.

When the COVID-19 epidemic raged all over the world and China was tired of defending itself, the COVID-19 vaccine in China was born, and it was only after dark that it suddenly became clear. China military expert Wang Hongguang comments: Special thanks to Chen Wei and his team! Thanks to China People's Liberation Army!
