比爾蓋茲自掏腰包1200萬美元給大藥廠 準備強制性的全球流感疫苗接種

剛看日本網站有專家學者警告大型德國麻疹即將爆發,讓我想起國二時得德國麻疹的回憶。

 

那時全班每個人輪流感染,得到的人就請假在家,感覺就是平常的感冒。老師照常教書,上學生活一切照常,小考大考一樣也沒少。不久之後,我也輪到,記得發高燒,臉上長小疹子。大人會安慰說,得過以後就終生免疫。記得我好了以後,換隔壁同學得,結果一整個學期她都不跟我講話,害我很悶,因為她覺得自己變醜。所以,我的身體沒有因為德國麻疹而受傷,但我的情感卻因為德國麻疹而受傷…..呵呵呵。

 

時至今日為什麼聽起來像猛獸一樣,好像會滅頂。有時候你會覺得新聞聽起來像在丟風向球,讓人擔心讓人怕。那要怎樣,打疫苗嗎?這是專家學者警告的目的嗎?我那年代,得過流行病,知道會終生免疫,那不是一記疫苗能比得上的。疫苗不僅不安全,而且會失效,要常常補打。哪比得上『天生又鍛鍊過的免疫力』。昨日與今日到底發生了什麼,竟會不同,讓人們觀念與心態都扭轉? 感覺是倒退嚕啊。

 

#比爾蓋茲的減人口計畫又來了

#他對地球人真好

 

讓我想到最近一篇文章,介紹到『減人口專家』比爾蓋茲,在麻省醫學會的年度會議所講的。他祭出三支箭,從這三支箭,你可看出他推廣全球性流感疫苗的決心。

 

第一支箭是他自掏腰包給大藥廠,要為全世界流感疫苗做準備,而且希望是強制性的。

 

第二支箭,是他的努力,再結合GoogleAlpha等執行長的力量,一起為『不可避免』的流行病做好準備,而且要以戰爭的等級嚴陣以待。(註?什麼叫不可避免?inevitable。這幾個字聽起來就很此地無銀三百兩。)

 

第三支箭,祭出重金廣邀高手提案,而且言明不要一兩種病毒株的疫苗,只針對某區域的人口,他要全世界放諸四海都能用的流感疫苗。Think big and faster. 獲選者還能進一步得到更優渥的研究費,比爾蓋茲希望2021年能進入臨床實驗。

 

目標清楚,很有步驟,又很有氣魄。問題是全世界沒有其他更重要的事嗎要做嗎?1889年的俄羅斯流感,1918年的西班牙流感,現在回頭看都是詐騙,無知與錯誤。我們沒有理由會重蹈覆轍。又甚麼叫做不可避免的流行病呢?除了人為的以外。

#比爾蓋茲自掏腰包1200萬美元給大藥廠

#準備強制性的全球流感疫苗接種

 

比爾蓋茲自掏腰包給大型藥廠1200萬美元,用在全球性的流感疫苗,他說應該要每個人強制性的施打

 

在麻省理工醫學會發表演說時蓋茲警告說,有場即將來臨的流行病,世界各國政府尚未做好準備。

 

全世界應該以準備戰爭的等級,為這場流行病做好準備

未來網站報導說。每年麻省醫學會以及新英格蘭醫學期刊,會針對一個特定的健康相關的議題進行學術討論。今年這個題目是流行病,還有誰比比爾蓋茲更適合擔任講演人,他的基金會竭力在對抗一些公共衛生的最大威脅,像是人類免疫缺乏病毒,以及瘧疾。在他演講過程,蓋茲看向過去、現在、未來的準備。

 

簡短版本:我們走了很長的一段路,但仍有很長的路要走。

 

早在1889年,俄羅斯流感成為第一次流感疫情擴散到各大洲。二十年後,1918年的流感疫情短短五個禮拜帶走675千條人命。

 

幸運的是,今天的我們有疫苗,藥物與診斷工具,比以前的人能更有效地控制疫情。但我們還有很多方面沒有到位。比爾蓋茲說

 

他提到2009H1N1流感病毒,以及西非最近的伊波拉都是搖醒鐘。這兩個狀況全世界沒有很快地回應。我們無法有效地追踪疾病的蔓延。當地衛生系統只是崩潰。人們奄奄一息,只因為我們沒有做好準備。

 

蓋茲告訴觀眾:「全世界需要以戰爭等級為流行病做好準備。」

 

為了下一個不可避免的流行病做好準備的辦法之一:開發更好的武器對抗疫情。因此,比爾與梅琳達基金會,與谷哥創辦人,還有Alphabet執行長聯手推出世界性流感疫苗開發活動

 

根據活動網站,目標是要找到“改變遊戲規則的通用方案”,以解決流行病與季節性的流感。世界衛生組織(WHO)預估每年有29萬到65萬人死於後者,雖然不常見,但爆發性的流感可能更為致命。

活動將在兩年內撥款25萬至200萬美元,用在最有結果的世界性流感疫苗方案。這些方案『要能舉出數據證明該項概念』,比方施行在動物成功的案例,就能申請全額獎金1000萬美元作為額外的研究。

 

蓋茲基金會對於這項活動想得大想得遠。他們只對世界性流感疫苗有興趣。不是那種針對某些流感病毒株或在某些人口的疫苗 - 他們希望在2021年之前能開始做臨床試驗。

 

我們今天可能無法符合好萊塢標準為爆發做好準備,但如果比爾蓋茲有任何話要說,可能會在不久的將來。

 

Bill Gates Pays $12 Million To Big Pharma For ‘Mandatory’ Universal Flu Shot

 

Bill Gates has put up $12 million of his own cash for Big Pharma companies to create a universal flu vaccine that he says should be “mandatory” for everybody.

 

Speaking at the Massachusetts Medical Society, Gates warned of a “coming pandemic” that world governments aren’t prepared for.

 

The world needs to prepare for pandemics in the same serious way it prepares for war,” Gates warned the audience.

 

Futurism.com reports: Each year, the Massachusetts Medical Society and the New England Journal of Medicine present an event featuring panelists and speakers focused on a specific health-related topic. This year, that topic was epidemics. What better speaker than Bill Gates, whose foundation strives to combat some of the biggest threats to public health, such as HIV and malaria? During his presentation, Gates looked to the past, present, and future of our outbreak preparedness.

   

The short version: We’ve come a long way, but still have a long way to go.

 

Back in 1889, the Russian flu became the first flu pandemic to spread across continents. A few decades later, the 1918 flu pandemic killed 675,000 people in just five weeks.

 

Luckily for those of us alive now, today we have vaccines, drugs, and diagnostic tools that help us address outbreaks far more effectively than when those illnesses first took hold.

 

But we still fall short in so many respect, according to Gates.

 

He noted the “wake up calls” of the 2009 H1N1 virus and West Africa’s more recent Ebola outbreak. The world didn’t respond quickly enough in either situation. We couldn’t effectively track the diseases as they spread. Our local health systems simply collapsed. People kept dying because we weren’t ready.

 

The world needs to prepare for pandemics in the same serious way it prepares for war,” Gates told the audience.

 

One way to be better prepared for the inevitable next pandemic: to develop better weapons to fight outbreaks. To that end, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has teamed up with the family of Google co-founder and Alphabet CEO Larry Page to launch the Universal Influenza Vaccine Development Grand Challenge.

 

According to the challenge website, the goal is to find a “game changing, universal solution” to address both pandemic and seasonal influenza. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 290,000 to 650,000 people die from the latter each year, and while less common, pandemic influenza can be even more deadly.

 

The Grand Challenge will award $250,000 to $2 million in funding over two years to the most promising proposals for a universal flu vaccine. Then, those projects that “demonstrate promising proof-of-concept data,” such as success in animal models, can apply for a full award of $10 million for additional studies.

 

The Gates Foundation is thinking big and fast with this challenge. They’re only interested in a universal flu vaccine — not one that might work to address certain strains of the flu or in certain populations — and they want it to be ready for clinical trials by 2021.

 

We may not meet the Hollywood standard for outbreak preparedness today, but if Bill Gates has anything to say about it, we might in the very near future.
