Mangaluru: Dr Bellur S Prabhakar, Senior Dean, Department of Technical Invention and Training at the University of Illinois at the University of California, said “the available Coronavirus vaccines ensure protection from Delta Plus Variants of Coronavirus.”
As part of Impact Lecture Series, which was held on Monday by the Institution Innovation Council (IIC) of Nitte (Deemed to be University), Prabhakar gave a lecture on ‘Clinical and translational research opportunities on post-acute sequelae of Covid-19’.
‘The vaccines have proven effective. Those who are vaccinated may get infected by Coronavirus. But the symptoms of the infection will be minimal. Therefore, getting a vaccine is of paramount importance. It is natural that many other variants of the Coronavirus will appear. However, there is no need to worry about new viruses. Vaccines will give protection’ he promised.
‘There is no benefit in treating Covid -19 patients with Ivermectin, Remdesivir and 2DG drugs. There is no scientific evidence that taking these drugs cure the disease. The politicians should not mislead the masses; instead, they must cooperate in research against the disease’ he added.
Post-Covid Care Center needed: Post-Covid Care Center is essential. It is good to see that a Post Covid Care Center has opened at K S Hegde Charitable Hospital at Nitte University. He assured us that all kinds of medical advice and support would certainly be provided by his team.
Speaking after inaugurating the programme, Dr Satish Kumar Bhandari, Vice-Chancellor of Nitte (Deemed to be University) said, ‘New research in the field of medicine should be prioritized. These benefits patients. Also, it helps to keep society well. Also, K.S. Hegde Charitable Hospital has established the post-Covid Care center a long back. The best treatment is been offered at the center,” he said.
Prof G Sriniketan, Director of the Institution Innovation Council (IIC) delivered the welcome speech.
The event was moderated by Dr M Vijay Kumar, Co-ordinator of the Impact Lecture Series.
