"We will not miss vaccines and this ping pong of daily controversies only creates anxiety. The criticality has been starting and we will carry it on for four, at most eight weeks. In May we will have really many vaccines and from June in then very many, on this no expert, even in the slightest, can doubt. The initial delay was to be taken into account. The pharmaceutical companies worked in the dark, to carry on they equipped the plants even before the clinical work was finished. it was a conceptual revolution ". This was stated, in an interview with the Giornale, by Sergio Dompé, owner of the pharmaceutical company of the same name, head of the task force for health and life sciences of the B20, the Business Summit that in July will put a package of recommendations in the hands of the G20 for more effective and sustainable post-Covid health care. "It was a gamble and it was not written that it would be won, albeit with some inevitable technical stumbling - continues the former president of Farmindustria -. And speaking of vaccine factories, let me say something. I am witnessing the discussion that we should also install them in Italy. Imagine if as an entrepreneur I disagree. But let's use our heads. To set up one, to really run, a year goes by so much is the complication of putting together planning and thousands of plant parts that are not all easy Then come the tests and checks, let's say to be fast another six months. Given the availability of vaccines that will be in the world in eighteen, twenty-four months, we would arrive long and maybe even old because of the infinity of variants that will appear on the scene . Today the big pharmaceutical companies are already working and investing on the post Covid. There is already evidence, but others will emerge, that the disease - I am referring to that in severe form - can ò leave consequences not only at the pulmonary level, but also at the cardiological or neuromotor level. As after a war, we must be ready to treat veterans. "Then remember that 400 thousand scientific studies on Covid have been produced in a year and there are 4,900 authorized clinical studies, 63 vaccines are being developed and about a hundred drugs are being developed. which we can say the same. "Regarding the pandemic - he concludes - in three months the situation could be under control and within six months totally under control. This does not mean that the disease will disappear, it will become like HIV, which is still dangerous and among us, but the mix of correct behaviors and effective therapies have made it manageable "and" this is a good opportunity to reorganize a world-class research and provide rapid production and access to patients for innovative medicines in other fields as well. Let's not forget, Covid has not wiped out the problem of cancer, cardiological and neurological pathologies, on the contrary it has worsened them due to the minor screenings carried out due to Covid ".
