Jim Slade: We all know that Pfizer booster shots are out. No, I don't know. In what way do you mean "out"? "Out" meaning available, or out of contention because there's not enough supply or because Pfizer boosters are ineffective? [Edit 2 times, last edit by Rickjb at Oct 3, 2021 3:53:08 PM] |

A new SARS-CoV-2 variant (B.1.1.523) capable of escaping immune protections
The authors of this study have reported that the B.1.1.523 variant harbors a new combination of concerning spike mutations that are present in many currently circulating VoCs. Many of these mutations are concerning and are associated with the evasion of immune protection. This is critical, as these developments could challenge the effectiveness of available vaccines. More research is required to determine the transmissibility of this variant, which would assist in the development of preventive strategies to stop the further spread of this strain. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20210927/A-...g-immune-protections.aspx |
