Uzbek scientists have proposed a new way to fight coronavirus. In their opinion, in order not to get infected with COVID-19, one just needs to drink milk – but not an ordinary one, the one that contains antibodies to the coronavirus.

Researchers have noticed that women who have been vaccinated against or recovered from COVID-19 have antibodies in their breast milk.
This led scientists to think why not study the milk of goats and cows vaccinated against COVID-19. During an experiment, they vaccinated animals with three doses of ZF-UZ-VAC 2001.
As a result, they proved that the developed antibodies successfully neutralize the coronavirus: in blood serum, the efficiency reached 100%, in milk – 40%.
The researchers believe that the resulting product can be used for mass passive immunization of the population.
