Washington / Fort Lauderdale / Atlanta, Jun 10 (EFE / EPA) .- (CAMERA: Michael Reynolds / Cristobal Herrera / Erik Lesser) Dozens of people have gathered Thursday in several cities in the United States to request to the Government of Joe Biden to share with the rest of the world the surplus of vaccines against covid-19, under the claim that the hoarding of doses "is immoral and dangerous."
Aaron Traywick, a biohacker and CEO of Ascendance Biomedical, took to the stage at biohacking event BDYHAX to inject himself with a herpes vaccine developed by his company in front of a live audience in Austin, Texas on Monday. Traywick acted as a volunteer for the new vaccine, as he himself has herpes. Ascendance Biomedical seek to find willing participants to test experimental treatments that have not gone through the normal route of rigorous clinical trials.
US Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said on Wednesday that he expects COVID-19 vaccines to be ready soon. According to CNN, Azar said he anticipates "one or two safe and effective" vaccines by the end of the year. At least two of the six vaccines being evaluated by Pfizer and Moderna have produced promising results in trials. Azar's remarks come at a time when U.S. public health officials are "seeing a distressing trend". The number of COVID-19 cases across the country are surging with nearly 60,000 new cases per day. The United States has suffered over 8.5 million cases of the coronavirus since it began.
Americans will start receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine from Monday after shipping on Sunday, General Gus Perna, the officer in charge of the distribution operation, says during a press conference. SOUNDBITE
