Frightening discovery by American researchers. Humanity is threatened by extremely dangerous viruses

Representatives of the American health organization PAHO conducted a study on the spread of different types of viruses around the world.

According to American scientists, the new coronavirus will indirectly facilitate the spread of other viruses, at least as dangerous as this one.

The main risk factors are delayed vaccinations and a lack of attention for non-Covid-19 outbreaks, according to US researchers.

Beware of polio! Researchers are already on high alert

Among the viruses that have caught the attention of researchers is the one that causes polio.

The American Health Organization, PAHO, recommends careful monitoring of polio vaccination status to prevent a possible epidemic.

“Even though we have had polio in the past, if we allow the vaccination rate to drop and drop too low, we risk seeing the community spread the virus again,” said Carissa Etienne, director of PAHO.

“Therefore, it is more important than ever to do everything possible to support polio eradication in our region while waiting for other countries around the world to achieve the same goal,” he said. added.

The coronavirus pandemic must not distract us from the danger of other viruses

“The pandemic has put pressure on health systems and revealed gaps, but also resources to count on in the fight against the novel coronavirus. Vaccination and epidemiological surveillance systems are now in the public domain and information on antiviral vaccination has reached many people .

During the pandemic, we need to put in a lot more effort and work hard not to lose everything we have built over time, ”said Cuauhtemoc Ruiz Matus, head of PAHO’s immunization program.

According to PAHO reports, polio vaccination has covered 85-87% of the US population in the United States over the past three years.

In 2020, the rate could be lower “due to the cessation of primary care activities caused by the COVID-19 pandemic”.

The poliomyelitis virus was once extremely widespread. Especially in young children, it can damage nerves, weaken muscles, and even cause paralysis.

There is no cure for poliomyelitis, but vaccination has been shown to be effective in preventing the disease.
