Sunday, 24 December 2023 The World Health Organization (WHO) has urged countries in the South-East Asia Region (SEARO), including India, to enhance surveillance and implement protective measures due to a surge in respiratory diseases, including Covid-19 and its new sub-variant JN.1, along with influenza. The advisory is particularly relevant as India has witnessed 656 new Covid-19 cases in the past 24 hours, bringing the total active cases to 3,742, with a death toll of 5,33,333. Dr. Poonam Khetrapal Singh, WHO South-East Asia regional director, emphasized the need for strengthened surveillance, sequencing, and data sharing to monitor the evolving nature of the viruses.
A new intranasal vaccine developed by researchers at the Wuhan lab has recently been unveiled, promising a novel approach to combating infectious diseases. However, this breakthrough has also sparked significant controversy and concern. While the vaccineβs potential to offer a more accessible and efficient method of vaccination is hailed as a major advancement, its origins and the circumstances surrounding its development are raising alarms about a possible new health crisis. Critics worry that the technology used in this vaccine could inadvertently lead to another pandemic-like scenario if not carefully monitored. As the world cautiously watches, the vaccine's rollout is stirring a heated debate about safety, preparedness, and the ethical implications of such advanced biological research.
