While the whole world’s fight against coronavirus continues, there has been a remarkable development regarding vaccines, the only weapon that will end the epidemic. Ege University Faculty of Medicine Lecturer Prof. Dr. Zafer Kurugöl, in an interview with NTV, claimed that even newborn babies are “accidentally” injected with the coronavirus vaccine from time to time. The scandalous claim of the professor has caused reactions.
prof. Dr. According to the statements made by Zafer Kurugöl, the fact that babies were accidentally vaccinated against the coronavirus has not caused any problems so far. According to the scientist, this mistake has also led to some positive results. Kurugöl states that antibody formation was observed in babies who were accidentally vaccinated against the coronavirus, and no side effects were observed.
Center of error, health centers
Ege University Faculty of Medicine Lecturer Prof. Dr. In the statements made by Zafer Kurugöl, the following statements were included:
Sometimes things happen by mistake. For example, they can mix it with another vaccine, hepatitis b vaccine, measles vaccine in health centers. Young children are vaccinated against COVID-19. We have encountered such cases. I assure you there were no side effects in these people. And it was extremely good antibody. Very good things happened with a 6-month-old baby, even a 1-month-old baby. We will publish these in a very famous medical journal in the near future. Even if you give high doses to small babies, there is no problem in terms of side effects.
prof. Dr. Although Kurugöl’s claims have not been confirmed at the moment, there were some previous statements on the subject. Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine Department of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, whose name we often heard during the epidemic, Prof. Dr. Mehmet Ceyhan spoke as follows on the subject;
There is no app for kids yet. Children cannot be vaccinated with the currently available vaccine. There are certain conditions for working on a new drug or vaccine in children. That product should be studied and applied sufficiently in adults so that you will look at their observations and you will see how reliable it is. Both our laws and our ethical rules have protected children in this regard.
There is no intention for this, let alone working in Turkey. There is no study in the USA other than the study conducted by Moderna. You don’t say, “Bring it, work in Turkey, bring its results” for this type of products and vaccines. You give license by looking at the work done. Not every product is licensed by working in Turkey. Let’s say the study ends at the end of next month, with the results of that study, companies apply to the health authorities of the countries, get their permission and start immediately. There is nothing that will take years. No re-animal experiments, no re-phase 1 studies. Only phase 3 studies of licensed vaccines, which we call phase 4 in adults, are carried out in children, then permissions are granted.
Professor’s claim sat on the agenda of social media
prof. Dr. Zafer Kurugöl’s statements to NTV caused a stir in the public. The claim, which came to the fore at a time when the anti-vaccination was already at its peak, caused social media users to make numerous posts. These posts were full of reactions, as you can imagine. We have compiled some of the posts made by Twitter users on the subject for you. . .
