One of the volunteers participating in the testing of the new vaccine for the emerging corona virus confirmed that he had agreed without hesitation to participate in the experiment, with the aim of reducing the pain, suffering and deaths resulting from this pandemic, indicating that he is currently taking notes, and recording any symptoms even if they are not related to the vaccine, in addition to His temperature is measured daily.
Neil Browning, an engineer at Microsoft Corporation in Seattle, USA, is the second person to receive the new Covid 19 vaccine that Modernna developed as part of the human tests for this vaccine on March 16.
Browning said in an interview with the publication of the Future Observatory in Dubai that his volunteering in this experiment came "because science and medicine are key elements in our contemporary life." I told my three daughters that getting the vaccination is like getting the flu vaccinations. And when I am in good health and have an opportunity to participate in reducing the pain, suffering and deaths resulting from this pandemic, I must not be late. ”
"I was relaxed," he added of his feelings as he prepared to undergo the first dose of the vaccine. Doctors measured blood pressure and pulse rate to ensure things were fine. The pulse rate was 72 beats per minute. I am not afraid of needles because I donate blood regularly. The vaccine does not include the virus, whether it is dead or weakened. Although he did not undergo animal tests previously and I was the second person to obtain it, but I agreed to participate in the experiment despite its risks, ”pointing out that he did not feel any side effects after obtaining the vaccine, just a slight pain in the arm muscles the next day. But when I moved and the blood flowed in my arms, the pain disappeared completely within five minutes. ”
On the next steps for him and the other volunteers, Browning said: “We will continue to record daily observations, and we go to the research center weekly for four weeks to analyze blood samples, and in the fourth week we will get a second dose of the vaccine and then we will note the notes again and doctors pull blood samples over the course of Another four weeks. ”
The volunteer engineer concluded his dialogue with the "Observatory of the Future" with a number of advice: "Do not underestimate the danger of the virus, because it may cost us our lives." Those who say that it is just a flu or that the virus does not harm young people, because they may become infected and pass on the infection to other people before they show any symptoms. You should think about your parents, grandparents, and friends who may spread the infection among them. Avoid social gatherings, wash your hands regularly, and we will win the virus soon. ”
