Njengoba kushicilelwa, cishe amaphesenti angama-47 noma angaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-157 abantu baseMelika asebethole okungenani umthamo owodwa womgomo we-COVID-19, lapho abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-123 (futhi bebala) sebegonywe ngokuphelele, ngokusho kweCenters for Disease Control and Ukuvimbela. Kodwa, akubona bonke abajaha ukuya phambili emugqeni wokugoma. Eqinisweni, abantu abadala baseMelika abangaba yizigidi ezingama-30 (~ amaphesenti ayi-12 abantu) bayangabaza ukuthola umuthi wokugomela i-coronavirus, ngokwesikhathi sakamuva sokuqoqwa kwedatha (esaphela ngo-Ephreli 26, 2021) e-US Census Bureau. Futhi ngenkathi inhlolovo entsha evela e-Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research iphakamisa ukuthi, kusukela ngoMeyi 11, bambalwa abantu baseMelika abamadolonzima ukugonyelwa leli gciwane kunalokho okurekhodiwe ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, labo abasalokhu bemanqikanqika basho ukukhathazeka nge-COVID- 19 imiphumela engemihle yemithi yokugoma kanye nokungamethembi uhulumeni noma umgomo njengezizathu zabo ezinkulu zokungabaza.

Phambili, abesifazane bansuku zonke bachaza ukuthi kungani bekhetha ukungawutholi umuthi wokugoma - yize kunemizwa ebabazekayo evela kochwepheshe bezifo ezithathelwanayo, ososayensi, kanye nezinhlangano zezempilo zomhlaba ukuthi i-inoculation iyindlela engcono kakhulu yokunqoba ekulweni ne-COVID-19 emhlabeni jikelele.

Ukubheka Ukuzindela Komuthi Wokugoma

Njengesazi sokusebenza kwengqondo yomphakathi eWashington, DC, uJameta Nicole Barlow, Ph.D., MPH, uphumele obala ngemizamo yakhe yokusiza ukuhlehla abuyele olimini "olusola" oluzungeze umuthi wokugoma, njengokuthi abantu abaMnyama bamane besabe it. "Ngokuya ngomsebenzi wami emiphakathini eyahlukene, angicabangi ukuthi abantu abaMnyama bayesaba ukuthola umuthi wokugoma," kusho uBarlow. "Ngicabanga ukuthi imiphakathi yabaNsundu isebenzisa i-ejensi yabo ukucabanga ngokujulile ngempilo yabo nomphakathi futhi yenzela imindeni yabo isinqumo esingcono kakhulu."

Ngokomlando, kube nobudlelwano obungaqiniwe phakathi kwabantu abaMnyama nokuthuthuka kwezokwelapha, nokwesaba yalokho kuphathwa kabi kwanele ukwenza noma ubani ame kancane ngaphambi kokubhalisela umgomo omusha.

Akukhona nje ukuthi abantu abaNsundu abahluphekanga ezandleni zohlelo lokunakekelwa kwezempilo olubandlululayo, kodwa kusukela ngeminyaka yawo-1930 kuya ko-1970, ingxenye eyodwa kwezine yaboMdabu baseMelika kanye nengxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yabesifazane basePuerto Rican babekezelela ukuvala inzalo okuphoqelelwe okungagunyaziwe nguhulumeni wase-US. Muva nje, kuye kwavela imibiko yabesifazane abaphakathi kwe-ICE (iningi labo okwakunguMnyama noBrown) baphoqwa ukuba babe yizibeletho ezingadingekile. Umakhwelo kwakungowesifazane omnyama.

Uma kubhekwa lo mlando (owesikhathi esidlule nowakamuva kakhulu), u-Barlow uthi ukungabaza kokugoma kuvame ikakhulukazi emiphakathini yabaNsundu: "Imiphakathi yabamnyama ilinyazwe yizimboni zezokwelapha kule minyaka engu-400 edlule. Umbuzo wangempela awukona ukuthi 'kungani abantu abaMnyama bengabantu abamnyama. wesabe? ' kodwa 'ngabe abezokwelapha benzani ukuze bathenjwe yimiphakathi yabamnyama?' "

Ngaphezu kwalokho, "Siyazi ukuthi abantu abaMnyama babuyiselwe emuva ngokungalingani ukuze bathole ukunakekelwa ngesikhathi se-COVID-19, njengoba kwenzeka kuDkt. Susan Moore," kunezela uBarlow. Ngaphambi kokushona ngenxa yezinkinga ze-COVID-19, uDkt. Moore waya ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ukuze anikeze isibuyekezo esibuhlungu ngokuphathwa kwakhe kabi nokuxoshwa ngodokotela ababemhambela, abazwakalise ukuthi bebengakhululekile ukumnika imishanguzo yezinhlungu. Lokhu kungubufakazi bokuthi "imfundo kanye / noma imali engenayo akuyona into evikela ubandlululo ngokwezigaba," kuchaza uBarlow.

Ngokufana nokuthatha kukaBarlow ukungathembi uhlelo lwezokwelapha emphakathini wabamnyama, usokhemisi kanye nochwepheshe we-Ayurvedic uChinki Bhatia R.Ph., uveza ukungathembani okujulile ngaphakathi kwezikhala zokuphila okuphelele. "Abantu abaningi e-U.S. Bafuna induduzo kwi-Complementary and Alternative Medicine noma i-CAM," kusho uBhatia. "Kwenziwa kakhulu kanye nokunakekelwa kwezempilo okujwayelekile kwaseNtshonalanga." Uma sekushiwo, labo abasebenzisa i-CAM ngokuvamile bakhetha "indlela ephelele, yemvelo" ekunakekelweni kwezempilo ngokumelene "nezixazululo ezingezona ezemvelo, zokwenziwa," njengemithi yokugoma eyakhiwe ilabhorethri, kusho u-Bhatia.

U-Bhatia uchaza ukuthi abaningi abenza i-CAM bayawugwema "umhlambi wengqondo" futhi ngokuvamile abathembeki emithini emikhulu, eyenza inzuzo (okungukuthi i-Big Pharma). Ngenxa enkulu yengxenye "yokusabalala kolwazi olungelona iqiniso ngokusebenzisa imithombo yezokuxhumana, akumangazi ukuthi odokotela abaningi - inhlalakahle nokujwayelekile - banemibono eyiphutha mayelana nokuthi imigomo ye-COVID-19 isebenza kanjani," usho kanje. Isibonelo, abantu abaningi bakholelwa ngokungalungile izimangalo eziyiphutha zokuthi imishanguzo ye-mRNA (njengemithi yokugoma i-Pfizer neModerna) izoguqula i-DNA yakho futhi ithinte nenzalo yakho. Kukhona futhi imibono eyiphutha mayelana nokuthi umgomo ungenzani ekuvundeni, kwengeza u-Bhatia. Yize ososayensi bephikisa lokho kushiwo, izinganekwane ziyaqhubeka.

Kungani Abanye Abantu Bengatholi (noma Bengakuhlelanga Ukuthola) Umuthi Wokugoma i-COVID-19

Kukhona nenkolelo yokuthi ukudla kanye nokuphila kahle ngokuphelele kwenele ukuvikela i-coronavirus, egcina abanye abantu ekutholeni umuthi wokugoma i-COVID-19 (ngisho nomuthi wokugomela umkhuhlane, ngokomlando, ngalolo daba). UCheryl Muir, 35, ongumqeqeshi wezothando nobudlelwano ozinze eLondon, ukholelwa ukuthi umzimba wakhe ungakwazi ukubhekana nokutheleleka nge-COVID-19 futhi, ngenxa yalokho, uthi unomuzwa wokuthi asikho isidingo sokugonywa. “Ngicwaninge ukuthi ngingawaqinisa kanjani amasosha omzimba ngokwemvelo,” kusho uMuir. "Ngidla ukudla okususelwa ezitshalweni, ngisebenza izinsuku ezinhlanu ngesonto, ngenza umsebenzi wokuphefumula nsuku zonke, ngilale kakhulu, ngiphuze amanzi amaningi, futhi ngibuke ne-caffeine kanye noshukela engiwudlayo. Ngithatha nezithako zokudla okune-vitamin C, D, ne-zinc." Kubalulekile ukuqaphela, noma kunjalo, ukuthi akuzona zonke lezi zindlela eziye zaboniswa ukuthi ziyasebenza ekuthuthukiseni ukuphendula komzimba. Futhi nakuba, yebo, ukuthatha uvithamini C namanzi okuphuza kungase kusize umzimba wakho uvikele umkhuhlane ovamile, akunakushiwo okufanayo ngegciwane elibulalayo njenge-COVID-19.

UMuir uchaza ukuthi futhi usebenza ukunciphisa ukucindezeleka futhi abeke phambili impilo yakhe yengqondo, ethinta impilo yakho yonke nempilo yakho engokomzimba. "Ngiyazindla, ngibhala ngokulawulwa ngokomzwelo, futhi ngikhuluma nabangane njalo," esho. "Yize nginomlando wokuhlukumezeka, ukucindezeleka, nokukhathazeka, ngemuva komsebenzi omningi wangaphakathi, namhlanje ngijabule futhi ngiphilile emoyeni. Yonke le misebenzi ixhunywe kumuntu ophilile kanye nozivikeli mzimba esiqinile. Ngeke ngithole umuthi wokugoma i-COVID ngoba ngithemba amandla omzimba wami okuziphilisa. "

Kwabanye, njengoJeellell Singeltary, umqeqeshi we-yoga onolwazi lokuhlukumezeka, ukungabaza ngokuzungeza umuthi wokugoma i-COVID-19 kungenxa yokungathembeki kwezokwelapha ngenxa yokuhlukumezeka ngokobuhlanga futhi impilo yakhe siqu. USingeltary, onguMnyama, ubelokhu ephila ne-lupus ne-rheumatoid arthritis cishe iminyaka engamashumi amathathu. Ngaphandle kweqiniso lokuthi zombili izimo zokuzivikela komzimba - okusho ukuthi zenza buthaka amasosha omzimba futhi, zingakhuphula amathuba eziguli okuba nezinkinga ezivela ku-coronavirus noma okunye ukugula - uyanqikaza ukuthatha into okufanele imnike ithuba lokulwa ne-coronavirus. igciwane.

"Akunakwenzeka ukuthi ngihlukanise umlando wokuthi leli zwe liwuphathe kanjani umphakathi wami ngeqiniso lanamuhla lamazinga abantu abaNsundu abanezimo ezazikhona ngaphambili befa ngenxa ye-COVID," kusho u-Singeltary. "Womabili la maqiniso ayesabisa ngokufanayo." Ukhomba ezenzweni ezidume kabi zalokho okuthiwa "uBaba Wezifo Zabesifazane," uJ.Marion Sims, owenza ucwaningo lwezokwelapha kubantu abagqilazwe abangenayo i-anesthesia, kanye nokuhlolwa kwe-syphilis yaseTuskegee, okuqashe amakhulu abantu abaNsundu abanaleso simo nangaphandle kwaso. benqabele ukwelashwa bengazi. “Ngicatshangelwa indlela lezi zenzakalo eziyingxenye yesichazamazwi sansuku zonke somphakathi wami,” uyanezela. "Okwamanje, ngigxile ekukhuliseni amasosha omzimba ngokuphelele futhi ngihlukanise."

Ukucwasa okungokomlando kanye nokucwasa ngokwemithi akulahleki kumnikazi wepulazi eliphilayo uMyeshia Arline, 47, waseNew Jersey. Une-scleroderma, isimo sokuzivikela komzimba esibangela ukuqina noma ukuqina kwesikhumba nezicubu ezixhumanayo, ngakho-ke uyachaza ukuthi wayemathintanyawo ukufaka noma yini angayiqondi emzimbeni wakhe ayezizwa ukuthi sekunzima ukuyilawula. Wayezixwaye kakhulu izithako zemithi yokugoma, ekhathazeka ngokuthi zingadala ukusabela okungekuhle ngemithi yakhe ekhona kakade.

Kodwa-ke, u-Arline wabonisana nodokotela wakhe mayelana nezakhi zemithi yokugoma (ongayithola nakwiwebhusayithi yeFood and Drug Administration iwebhusayithi) kanye nanoma ikuphi ukusabela okungahle kube khona phakathi komthamo kanye nemithi yakhe yamanje. Udokotela wakhe uchaze ukuthi izingozi ezihambisana nokuthola kwakhe i-COVID-19 njengesiguli esingenakho ukuzivikela emzimbeni zikwedlula kude noma yikuphi ukugula kokuthola umuthi wokugoma. U-Arline manje usegonywe ngokuphelele. (Okuhlobene: I-Immunologist Iphendula Imibuzo Ejwayelekile Mayelana Nemithi Yokugoma YaseCoronavirus)

UJennifer Burton Birkett, 28, waseVirginia njengamanje unamasonto angama-32 ekhulelwe futhi uthi akazimisele ukuthatha noma yimaphi amathuba uma kukhulunywa ngaye nangempilo yengane yakhe. Isizathu sakhe sokungagomi? Alukho ulwazi olwanele okwamanje ngemiphumela emibi yabesifazane abakhulelwe, futhi udokotela wakhe wamkhuthaza impela hhayi ukuyithola: “Angizami ukulimaza indodana yami nganoma iyiphi indlela,” kuchaza uBurton Birkett. "Ngeke ngifake okuthile emzimbeni wami okungakahlolwa ngokuphelele emitholampilo ezifundweni eziningi. Angiyona ingulube yaseGuinea." Esikhundleni salokho, uthi uzoqhubeka nokukhuthalela ukugeza izandla nokugqoka izifihla-buso, abona ukuthi nakanjani kuzovimbela ukudluliswa.

Akumangalisi ukuthi abesifazane babe manqikanqika ukufaka okuthile okusha emizimbeni yabo okungabuye kudluliselwe ezinganeni zabo. Kodwa-ke, ucwaningo lwakamuva lwabesifazane abakhulelwe abangaphezu kwama-35,000 alutholanga imiphumela emibi kumama nasenganeni evela emuthini wokugoma, ngaphandle kwempendulo ejwayelekile (isb. Ingalo ebabayo, umkhuhlane, ikhanda). Futhi iCDCkwenza batusa ukuthi abesifazane abakhulelwe bathole umuthi wokugoma we-coronavirus ngoba leli qembu lisengozini yamacala abucayi e-COVID-19. (Ngaphezu kwalokho, sekuvele kunecala elilodwa elibikiwe lokuzalwa kwengane ngama-COVIDantibodies ngemuva kokuthi umama ethole umuthi wokugoma i-COVID-19 ngenkathi ekhulelwe.)

Ukuba Nozwela Lokungabaza

Ingxenye yokuvala igebe phakathi kwabancane nemiphakathi yezokwelapha yakha ukwethembana - kuqala ngokuvuma izindlela abantu aboniwe ngazo esikhathini esidlule namanje. UBarlow uchaza ukuthi ukumelwa kubalulekile uma uzama ukufinyelela kubantu bebala. Ochwepheshe bezempilo abamnyama kufanele babe "abahola phambili" emizamweni yokukhulisa ukwethembana kwemithi emphakathini waseMnyama, usho kanje. "[Kumele] nabo basekwe hhayi ukuthi babhekane nokucwaswa ngokweziqu ngokwabo, nakho okudlangile. Kumele kube namazinga amaningi ezinguquko ezenzeka ngokohlelo." (Okuhlobene: Kungani i-U.S. Ngokudingekile Edinga Odokotela Abesifazane Abamnyama Abengeziwe)

"UDkt. Bill Jenkins wayenguprofesa wami wokuqala wezempilo yomphakathi ekolishi, kodwa okubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi wayengudokotela wezifo ze-CDC owakhipha i-CDC ngomsebenzi ongekho emthethweni owenziwe emadodeni abaNsundu abane-syphilis eTuskegee. Wangifundisa ukusebenzisa idatha nezwi lami dala uguquko," kuchaza uBarlow, wengeza ngokuthi esikhundleni sokukhuluma ngokwesaba okucatshangwa ngabantu, kufanele kuhlangatshezwane nakho lapho bekhona kanye nabantu abahlonza okufanayo.

Ngokufanayo, uBhatia futhi uncoma ukuthi kube "nezingxoxo ezivulekile mayelana nokusebenza kwemigomo ngemininingwane yakamuva." Kuningi okungelona iqiniso laphaya kangangokuthi ukuzwa nje ama-akhawunti anembile nemininingwane mayelana nomgomo ovela emithonjeni ethembekile - njengodokotela wakho uqobo - kungaba nomthelela onamandla kulabo abamadolonzima ukugonywa. Lokhu kufaka ukufundisa abantu ngobuchwepheshe bokugoma nokuchaza ukuthi uma bengabaza ngempela ukuthi imigomo yenziwa kanjani, kufanele babheke ukuthola "eminye imigomo ye-COVID-19 eyenziwe ngokusebenzisa izindlela ezindala, njengomuthi wokugoma i-J & J," kusho uBhatia . "Yasungulwa kusetshenziswa ubuchwepheshe be-virus vector, obabukhona kusukela ngawo-1970 futhi obusetshenziselwa ezinye izifo ezithathelwanayo njengeZika, umkhuhlane kanye ne-HIV." (Ngokuqondene nalelo "phumulo" lomuthi wokugoma kaJohnson & Johnson? Sekuyisikhathi eside lisusiwe, ngakho-ke akukho zinkathazo lapho.)

Ukuqhubeka nokuba nezingxoxo ezivulekile nezethembekile nabangane noma amalungu omndeni abangahle bazizwe iffy ngokuthola umuthi wokugoma i-COVID-19 kungenye yezindlela ezinhle kakhulu zokusiza ukukhuthaza ukugoma, ngokwe-CDC.

Ekupheleni kosuku, noma kunjalo, labo abangagonyiwe kungenzeka bahlale kanjalo. "Siyazi ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwezinye izinhlelo zokugoma ukuthi ukufinyelela kumaphesenti angu-50 okuqala abantu kuyinto elula," uTom Kenyon, MD, ihhovisi lezempilo eliyinhloko e-Project HOPE kanye nomqondisi wangaphambili we-Global Health ku-CDC, esitatimendeni sakamuva. . "Amaphesenti angu-50 wesibili aya ngokuqina."

Kepha uma kubhekwa isibuyekezo sakamuva se-CDC sokugqoka imaskhi (okungukuthi, abantu abagonywe ngokugcwele akusadingeki bagqoke imaski ngaphandle noma ngaphakathi ezindlini kuzilungiselelo eziningi), mhlawumbe abantu abaningi bazophinde bakucabangele ukungabaza kwabo umuthi wokugomela i-COVID. Phela, uma kukhona into eyodwa ebonakala sengathi wonke umuntu angavumelana ngakho, ukuthi ukugqoka ubuso (ikakhulukazi ekushiseni okuzayo kwehlobo) kungase kube yinto engathandeki kakhulu kunengalo ebuhlungu ngemva kokudutshulwa. Noma kunjalo, njenganoma yini ephathelene nomzimba wakho, noma ngabe ukuthola umuthi wokugoma i-COVID-19 kungukukhetha kwakho.

Buyekeza kwe-
