This group will compare every coronavirus vaccine and tell us which ones are the best
- Coronavirus vaccines have been a sensitive topic in recent months. The highly politicized discussions around vaccines in the US have eroded the public’s trust in these key COVID-19 drugs.
- An organization aims to compare “apples to apples” and analyze data from all of the experimental drugs that reach clinical trials to determine which COVID-19 vaccine candidates have the best chances of beating the virus.
- The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), which is funding in part some of the vaccines that are in late-stage testing, has set up a network of labs to begin analyzing data from the separate coronavirus vaccine trials running around the world.
Several coronavirus vaccines are in the last stage of the human trials, and we’ll have the final conclusions from some of these frontrunners in the coming months. But as these experimental drugs have been increasingly politicized, especially in the US with the presidential election looming, the public’s trust in drugs that were developed faster than ever has eroded.
Vaccines will play a pivotal role in beating the pandemic. The virus might never go away, but a combination of immunization campaigns and continued public health measures will reduce the spread of the illness. For the vaccine part of that strategy to work, the world needs the drugs to be effective and safe. Then, we need enough capacity to meet the demand, and a significant proportion of the population will have to agree to be vaccinated.
There’s no guarantee that any of the current vaccine frontrunners will yield the positive results we expect, no matter how promising Phase 1 and 2 trials have been. Still, the good news is there are hundreds of drugs in various stages of development. And now, there’s an organization that will attempt to objectively compare them to determine which of the experimental drugs might be the best at blocking a COVID-19 infection.
