The vaccine struggle is the struggle of politics and money
Written by / Dr. Inas Abdul Hadi Al-Rubaie
Will the competition to obtain a Covid-19 vaccine be the scope of the next conflict between major countries with a large increase in the number of infections around the world and the emergence of new strains with the inability of even advanced economies to bear the repercussions of that crisis, so the conflict of interests of research sponsors for financial and bureaucratic reasons may be the motivation for not Recognizing the dangers of vaccines, while another team may go to search for means to support research that shows the risks of vaccines and their use in order to confront a conflict of interest between the two groups, creating a conflict, each of them seeking to win their battle through it, despite the fact that vaccines have been the motivation for many global successes in the field of public health As is the case in the eradication of smallpox disease and the reduction of polio and measles, but it has always been the subject of ethical controversies related to its organization, development and use in general by authorizing its use and the experimental and testing stages in animal experiments first and then finding volunteers to experiment on them to reach results that can be adopted in adopting Whether or not to produce the vaccine, a country such as the United States imposes a policy of some states to take some vaccines as one of the requirements for enrollment Schools are part of the national vaccination program so that objections arise from some individuals in the community who do not agree to their children receiving these vaccinations as they consider it a violation of the individual's independence and freedom, especially if their ideological beliefs do not support vaccination against diseases in a manner inconsistent with the religious beliefs of his family, forty-eight states Exemptions are allowed for religious reasons, and twenty states allow exemptions for philosophical reasons, in order for them to be the most vulnerable to the transmission of infection to them, which exposes them and the surrounding community to a greater infection infection, so we are faced with two different perceptions of the risks of the epidemic and its control through vaccination against it. Its production after years of scientific research, given that even a very small risk is a bad reaction that may represent great risks, despite the confidence of the majority in science, including the process of producing vaccines and resorting to them in many cases to prevent infection from several diseases, but the situation is slightly different in Covid-19 Besides the rapid transformation of the virus that causes the epidemic, the side effects are still unknown, which prompts many to avoid taking it. The decision for a vaccine is based primarily on essential safety evidence, so the issue of rejecting the vaccine is not a matter of ignorance but a matter of personal choice and the risk-weighing process depends on the issue of balancing the various contradictions based on their interpretation of those contradictions, especially since some think that if he is not exposed to the risk of infection then it is not It is necessary to take the vaccine, especially since scientists assert that a percentage ranging between (60-80)% can acquire herd immunity, so it is not wise to talk about mandatory vaccination, which leads to thinking that the greater the momentum for a particular outcome, the greater the factors of distrust and suspicion of it. What is counter-motivated through concern about the lack of confidence in the processes of monitoring the production of the vaccine and the safety of its production and the deliberate negligence in monitoring the safety of its production. Therefore, the producing companies deliberately focus on volunteer work as a public duty as one of the forms of reassurance among members of society as a tactic that includes individuals who have a tendency to openly highlight their virtues.
There is no harm in this including some famous personalities such as heads of state and influential people to lead others to take the vaccine to reassure all members of society. In any case, it is not certain that a As a result of this, it is possible to reduce the percentage of those who are afraid to take the vaccine, especially since being forced to take it is not a good thing, as it represents a golden opportunity for those who choose an opposite policy by arguing about the negative effects that could change the life of someone who was forced to receive the vaccine.
In light of the calls for more transparency about the Covid-19 vaccine, the financial interests of the parties producing the vaccine appear to provide information selectively to favor the interests of companies and reach the decision-makers so that the public remains in the dark and the almost complete absence of transparency in the dissemination of information, which we find is an imbalance, even if it represents a realistic application. Conflict of interests between several parties.
