* Africans should come to the
realization that it is not vaccines, it is healthy living
The Cross Rivers State Governor, Prof. Ben Ayade, has charged
the Federal Government of Nigeria to invest money into the
production of vaccines in Nigeria that can tackle the COVID-19
virus. His Excellency, Gov. Ayade, gave this charge while
addressing newsmen in the state.
Speaking with newsmen, he noted that Nigeria has intelligent
professors of virology currently lying waste in our universities,
adding that, with the money we have now, we can set up a proper
vaccine production plant — a first of its kind; a world-class
vaccine.
“Africans should come to the realization that it is not
vaccines, it is healthy living. Give people jobs. Don’t tell us
about giving us HIV drugs in South Africa. Give us money; let us
improve our agriculture, let everybody have a job, and live
healthily, HIV virus will disappear. It is the same thing with
coronavirus. It will sound very controversial, but they should know
that I am talking from a sound intellectual and scientific
background.
“The virus itself, the test method – the PCR method is an
unreliable test method and it is never to be used for diagnostic
purpose, but for research purposes. But PCR is being used, test
kits are been produced, manufacturers are making cool money. If I
test you and you are coronavirus-positive, what do I do? There is
no vaccine today. There is no test, approved internal treatment
protocol. However, they have also announced that some people have
recovered. Why don’t you take their serum? Their serum shows that
if they have recovered, they now have the antibody against the
virus.
“So take their serum, do a synthesis of their serum, based on
the electrophoresis, and then synthesis and mass-produce the
vaccine. Why can’t the Federal Government start putting in money
for research and reproduction of that vaccine in Nigeria? We
are professors of virology, intelligent Nigerian professors of
virology, lying waste in our universities. With the money we have
now, we can set up a proper vaccine production plant. A first of
its kind, world-class vaccines.”
He concluded that he teaches immunology in the university. That,
they have discharged some of the people infected with the virus
which means that those people are strong and healthy enough, that,
the antibody they have generated can be extracted and to produce
the active ingredients that respond to the coronavirus.
