This is the most effective way to kill the virus completely,” the press release stated.
It further stressed that vaccinations are a time tested method to manage pandemics. “Historically, vaccination was the way humanity defeated many deadly diseases like Small Pox, Measles, Polio etc. Today new born babies are given vaccines for the most deadly diseases.
