In a retrospective study conducted in Havana, Cuba, to evaluate the effectiveness of the abdala vaccine, it was shown that: The effectiveness of the vaccine against severe disease and death from COVID-19 in the real-life study was greater than 92.0% in all age groups (over 19 years).

Daily cases and deaths during the study period correspond to a vaccine effectiveness greater than 90%as predicted by the models.

However, despite these results, Francisco Moreno Sánchez, National Medicine Award 2022 He shared on his Twitter account a series of reasons why he does not recommend the application of the biological Abdala.

Abdala vaccine does not protect against variants of Covid-19

In Mexico, the Abdala vaccine is being applied as a reinforcement

Among the reasons indicated is an analysis published in the scientific journal The Lancent and it is revealed that the Cuban biological is not updated to protect against omicron and other future mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

The study details that Abdala does not protect against the BW.1 and BQ.1 sublineages, which descend from the BA.5 subvariant, whose origin is in omicron.

As we have mentioned in other informative notes of The Truth NewsIn Mexico City, a vaccination campaign is currently being carried out for people over 18 years of age to apply a reinforcement of the Cuban biological against Covid. The same in Michoacán, Durango and Veracruz.

The study also states that Adbala protects against strong symptoms of Covid and death as long as a scheme of three biologicals is applied. In addition, the results were analyzed on the delta variant.

Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) He did not approve the Cuban vaccine, neither for a three-dose scheme nor as a booster.

”Abdala is useless as a reinforcement, it is primary. Its efficacy has been evaluated under the scenario of people who have not had any previous dose of COVID vaccine and with the application of three doses of Abdala,” the analysis reads.

Francisco Moreno Sánchez, National Medicine Award 2022, details that it is now known which are the best vaccines to protect against Covid and assured that the decision was made to vaccinate with Abdala for political purposes.

”The study was conducted in a population that did not receive informed consent. That is, they were not explained what the study was about. This breaks with the basic norms of bioethics. Just like what was done in CDMX with ivermectin.} An experiment with human beings,” argues the specialist.
