About that COVID-19 UK Variant...

If true, will the Manditory vaccines created for asymptotic Covid work for Mutant Deadly Covid?

or, is it just like the flu where most of the time, the shot is worthless?

As far as we know the vaccine will still work. It typically takes years for a virus to mutate to the point where vaccines have to be adjusted for it.

The flu vaccine is 38% effective this year.

There is no HIV vaccine at all

Who is “we”?

If the spike protein hasn't changed, it's not big news.

Sounds like the new vaccine mechanism will attach at several possible spike sites.

You are going to read and hear about a million and one variant viruses, because viruses mutate by nature. It’s scary, I know. But, a couple of amino acids is not the same a whole whole new virus strain in the way that we’ve been taught to think about flu.

What is happening, often times, is selective pressure. As the virus transmits it learns how to be better at transmitting. This is why you hear “circulating faster than last variant”...

But, don’t get in a panic over it. There will take a large amount of genetic diversity to completely make the current vaccines useless... And, here is why:

Unlike monoclonal antibody therapies, vaccines (especially those using the whole spike protein) make polyclonal antibody responses. This means that the antibodies your vaccinated body will make will be able to bind the coronavirus spike in multiple places... not just one...

Taking into account this, based on previous knowledge obtained from our MERS work, we opted to target the whole spike protein and cloud that baby with antibodies from every possible angle (added to mRNA-elicited T cell responses).

Here is a simulation...

@KizzyPhD something to keep an eye on #covid19 crown mutation reported in #India https://amp.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3079678/coronavirus-mutation-threatens-race-develop-vaccine?__twitter_impression=true

Me and my CDC antifa buddies.

This isn't fucking hard. Just read a god damn article you donkey. Or don't bother getting vaccinated. I don't care.
