“Can the doctors tell us now when the Valneva vaccine will be injected?” Wrote Walter Bachler to the OÖNachrichten. In the fight against the coronavirus, many put their hopes in dead vaccines, which, unlike mRNA vaccines, are produced in the classic way and also work.
A false hope, because a new study shows: The dead vaccine CoronaVac failed with the Omikron variant. “Waiting for the dead vaccines does not make sense,” says Michael Girschikofsky, the medical director of the Ordensklinikum Linz.
Because until the dead vaccines can be inoculated, one could still be infected and suffer a serious course of the disease. It is better to vaccinate yourself with one of the “common substances”.
Mostly, scientific facts taken out of context shape the public discussion about the coronavirus, along with fears and doubts. Therefore, the OÖNachrichten discuss the letters of the readers together with a team of medical experts. This time Michael Girschikofsky answered the mailings. Because Covid-19 unsettles, divides and burdens. And has been for almost two years. The dense jungle of information is vast and seems impenetrable. Some things can become dangerous tripping hazards.
