Viruses and Trials For A Cure

 The COVID 19 Vaccine





COVID 19 was one of the worst viruses that the human race could live with. Its first case was found in early November 2019 in the Hubei province in China, in a 55-year-old man. It was not until 2020 that the whole world would know about the coronavirus since first it spread throughout China and then little by little due to negligence and corruption of the World Health Organization, COVID-19 would spread throughout the world. In December 2020, we all thought that the COVID was about to end, but a reappearance due to the end of the year and Christmas meetings put an end to those hopes. In 2021, a well-known Liberian doctor named Emmanuel Koelli, who helped a lot producing the Ebola vaccine, was called to the University of Oxford to help find the cure against COVID-19. 


Emmanuel was born in a humble family and thanks to his mother and family was able to have a scholarship at the University of Montreal. Dr. Koelli tried to find the cure by mixing different chemicals, but none worked. Until one day he tried a new combination based on the Ebola vaccine, after trying it for a long time Dr. Koelli thought he had the cure, but nobody believed him because everyone called him a "stupid African."


After seeing that what they tried, did not support him, he brought it to light through social networks, so he invited as many people to see a live demonstration of the cure by himself and himself only. He decided to make himself acquire the virus, and then take his vaccine to show how it saved him. Unfortunately, Emmanuel suffered from a disease called Trichotillomania which is too rare, which made a bad reaction with the vaccine leading to death. 


Months later, a German doctor took out a cure for COVID-19 and was taken as a world hero but after a long time, it became known that the vaccine was the same as Emmanuel Koelli but they did not give him any credit.
