Nice explanation.

vaccine for prevention Drugs for cure

Ok o, but am still asking why there is no vaccine yet for Malaria or the Hiv virus after all these years?

HIV affect the immune system itself, that it, when u are expoae to a virus like covid 19, it affects your respiratory organ and ur immune system fights it, but HIV affect your body immune system which is suppose to fight it, secondly some virus decays after infection, such as Ebola and coronavirus but HIV, herpes does not decay. Does virus that don't decay we live with them forever.

Malaria is not a virus but a bacterial. I don't think there are vaccines for bacteria.

It seems even the woke and enlighten Nigerians goof when it comes to differentiating between a vaccine and a drug. I was on the Madagascar trend on twitter earlier today, I saw so many tweets from the so called INFLUENCERS saying we already have a cure in Madagascar organics, we don't need a vaccine. The Madagascar cure might be effective, but there are clinical and scientific backup on how it cures CoVid 19. The bedrock of modern medicine is MECHANISM, well the crux of this article is not on the Madagascar cure, it is to enlighten people on the difference between a vaccine and a drug.

What are vaccines?
In simple term vaccines are altered, inactive or killed microorganisms that are injected into the body system in order to elicit an immune response without disease manifestation. What this means is that a vaccine contains that particular virus or microbe(microorganism) responsible for a disease, e.g Smallpox virus is responsible for causing smallpox, the vaccine for smallpox will contain either a killed Smallpox virus or an altered Smallpox virus which has been weakened or ripped off its pathogenicity(ability to cause disease) to still capable of inciting an immune response.

The goal behind vaccination is not to treat you against the disease, but to prime your immune system in a way that when it encounters the real virus, the immune system will quickly ward off the virus because it is not a new thing to the system. Just picture this as "ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY SCENARIO," but in actual sense we were never beaten, because our first exposure to the virus which was the vaccine which did not lead to disease manifestation, unlike a natural kind of immunity where you fall sick during the first exposure to the virus, but after recovery(if you are lucky) your body will be primed against the virus, and any subsequent exposure your body already knows what it is dealing with and fight it off quickly.

So, how does this differ from medication?
By medication I mean therapeutic drugs, organics(herbs) etc. What a drug does it to cure you after you have been infected or probably diseased, it assists your immune system in fighting the virus, different kinds of drugs have different mechanisms by which they help in curing a particular disease. Some drugs are specific in the disease they treat, some have wide range,but in whatever a drug does it is not in its place to prevent from encountering the disease.

Clearly we can see the difference vaccines prevent you from falling sick, while drugs help you manage or get you back up after you have falling sick. A vaccine is useless to someone who is already sick, because there is nothing to prevent, but a drug will come in handy to salvage the situation. A healthy person has no business talking a drug hoping it is will be prevent them from having the disease, rather the person should be vaccinated so he/she won't fall sick when he/she encounters the real virus.

We can see the ultimate goal to fight this pandemic is to prevent its spread via vaccination. PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE.

Thank You.

I liked ur enlightening article, but I'm not gonna start campaigning for global vaccination amid this pandemic.

ForeThinker:
Meanwhile .....

Feeding school children that are at home

ALL YOUR GRAMMARS ARE TOO MUCH WE DONT NEED THE VACCINE, WE NEED THE CURE FROM MADAGASCAR GBAMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Rubbish. All these are rubbish jor. Don't speak much English. Vaccine is not go area at all.

Indeed for th word to return back to normal, a vaccine is needed.

No country will allow random people into their border just because a cure exists as you would have infected others before being cured.

Covid-19 Vaccination requirements by Visa/Border officials is inevitable.

A pandemic is a disease that is spreading across the globe, so why not global vaccination.

ursullalinda:
This is not the kind of news my ears are itching for.......I just want to hear......there is a cure or a vaccine that's all......I want our lives back!

then what you want is a vaccine

Great job OP. You said we need the vaccine to prevent the pandemic but the pandemic is here already. I had like you to talk more about the advantage and disvantages of vaccination with facts from and focus on previous vaccinations. Note you may have to research deep to get something reasonable

Not when the virus spreads out of control

Wetin I wan hear be say Corona virus don get vaccine, no be dis wan

ChybuzzDD:
You did well.
But remember vaccines are also drugs/medications.
You were using "vaccines" as though they're not drugs or medications.
Drugs or medications are defined as pharmacological agents that can be used to diagnose, cure, treat or prevent a disease condition.
So, a vaccine is a type of drug used to prevent a disease.
Now, your heading should read:

"The Difference Between Therapeutic(curative) Drugs And Preventive Drugs(Vaccines)".

Kudos, once again.

Vaccines are drugs, not medicines

SirWarlock:
Not when the virus spreads out of control

the earlier we get the cure the far away the virus will be from the masses...… vaccine carry the virus so why injecting the virus back into ur body? instead of prevention

kingxsamz:
Because you know it doesn't mean others do...
We learn everyday.

Ok let's assume Everybody has learn it, what is the significant?

Bless you OP. People will still misunderstand tho . Suddenly we have woke and anti-vaxxers in Nigeria

emmabest2000:
Summary
Vaccines for prevention
Drugs for cure

After contracted the virus vaccine is no longer useful for you , what you need is drugs

Simple!

umm did you read the write up at all

Don't mind the idiot, i didn't even know this information.

Malaria is not a virus but a bacterial. I don't think there are vaccines for bacteria.

Kudos sir,


But malaria isn't a bacterial but a parasite(plasmodium spp).
There are vaccines for malaria, but they only protect against mild form of malaria. And there are also forms of prophylaxic drugs given, when one is bitten by female anopheles mosquito.

The plasmodium spp having a complex life cycle (man -intermediate host,) and site of infection (Red blood cell and liver). This complexity gives them different antigenic type , thereby fooling the immune system.

So since vaccine is a weakened virus or pathogen it is meant to prevent, why can't they or even you weaken HIV virus and administer it to prevent HIV.
Just curious.

What an enlighten post. God bless the op and the sensible commenters.

Meninmen:
Vaccines are drugs, not medicines

It's not true.

The word "drug", "medicine", "medication" are the same(synonymous), and are used interchangeably.

Vaccines are drugs/medicines/medications, but are under the Biopharmaceutical class of drugs/medicines/medications.
