Humans
are
no
strangers
to
widespread
viruses,and
each
time a
vaccine(
疫苗）
is developed, it
gives us hope for the future. Now, the world is
waiting for a
vaccine to fight
COVID-19.
Scientists
worldwide
have
been
rolling
up
their
sleeves
to
work
toward
an
effective
novel
coronavirus vaccine.
Under
the coordination(
协调）
of the
World Health Organization (WHO),up to 172
countries
have
been
engaging
with
the
and
most
diverse
COVID-19
vaccine
portfolio
plan
known as the COV
AX Global
Vaccines Facility.
COV
AX is
a system for joint purchasing and balancing the
risks of multiple vaccines. When
a
vaccine proves to be safe and effective, all
countries within the facility will be able to
access it,
according to Xinhua.
The plan is aimed to ensure that all
countries, no matter their economic status, can
get the
vaccine in a timely manner when
one is available. It also makes sure that prices
will be kept as
low as possible.
＂
A
number
of
vaccines
are
now
in
the
final
stage
of
clinical
trials,
said
WHO
Director-General Tedros Adhanom
Ghebreyesus on Aug 24,adding that the goal of
COV
AX is to
deliver at least
2 billion doses of a vaccine by the end of 2021.
According to the WHO, at present, nine
potential vaccines are part of the portfolio.
To guarantee the equal access and fair
assignment of COVID-19 vaccines,the WHO has said
that the world needs to prevent vaccine
nationalism-countries putting their own interests
ahead of
others in trying to secure
supplies of a possible vaccine.
＂
Vaccine
nationalism
only
helps
the
virus,
said,
warning
that
it
would
lead
to
a
prolonged
pandemic(
疫情）
if
only a small number of countries got most of the
supply.
＂
Like
an
orchestra,we
need
all
instruments
to
be
played
in
harmony
to
create
music
that
everyone enjoys,
_______
错误
_______

several countries have made great progress. Russia
began
production
of
its
first
batch
of
a
COVID-19
vaccine
on
Aug
15,
according
to
its
health
ministry.

As
reported
in
JAMA
Surgery,
the
researchers
discovered
that
e-scooter(
电动摩托车
)
injury rates had increased dramatically in just
four years, rising from 6 per
100,000
in the population to 19 per 100,000. Of the
estimated 14,651 e-scooter-related injuries in
2018, 4,658, or 32%, involved the head.
“While most people recover from head injuries,
there is
going
to be a subset with long-
term
disability and life changes,”
said Dr.
Benjamin Breyer.
Dr. Benjamin Breyer of
the University of California, Los Angeles, pointed
to a 2019 analysis
of the data from two
hospitals in Southern California, which found just
4.8% of injured e-scooter
riders were
wearing helmets.
Dr.
Joann
Elmore,
a
professor
of
medicine
at
the
University
of
California,
Los
Angeles,
believed
that
most
e-scooter
users
are
probably
unaware
of
the
risks.
To
make
the
point,
she
described a photo taken by a colleague.
“There were two riders on an
e
-
scooter,” she
said. “No
one
had
shoes
on.
There
were
no
helmets.
And
the
woman
in
front
carrier.”
The new report highlights the need for
more research on new technologies, said Dr. Guohua
Li, a professor of
epidemiology(
流行病学
).
“Just as there is a
global
network of experts working on infectious diseases,
there needs to be
a similar program
devoted to the
surveillance(
监视，监察
) and
prevention of injuries caused by
merging
technologies
products
and
lifestyles,
such
as
e-scooters,
e-
sports,
etc.,”
Li
said
in
an
email.
“The challenge for researchers and
policymakers is to keep up with the
ever
-changing society
and
protect the public from unnecessary harm caused by
new technologies and products without
hindering
innovation,” he
added.
