New Covid Mutation
Aug 31st, 2021 at 8:13pm
 
The recently discovered C.1.2 variant will likely be resistant to existing vaccines.
A new variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus which cause COVID-19, has been detected in South Africa and many other countries globally which could be more transmissible and evade protection provided by vaccines, according to study.
[i]The mutations N440K and Y449H, which have been associated with immune escape from certain antibodies, have also been noticed in C.1.2 sequences.


"While these mutations are not characteristic of current VOCs/VOIs, they have been associated with escape from certain class 3 neutralising antibodies," the authors wrote.

They noted that these mutations together with changes in other parts of the virus likely help the virus evade antibodies, and immune response, including in patients who have already developed antibodies for the Alpha or Beta variants.[/i]

Yeah, we know.

But, surely there's no chance it could arrive here in Australia and escape like Delta has, is there?

Especially since we have advance warning? Oh wait... flashbacks to Delta (and its warnings going back about 6 months) again.

We will all need 2 masks double inoculations triple social distancing and extended snap lockdowns to beat this variant or die trying.

It will come from evolutionary pressure from the idiots who have already taken the vaccines Sad

Evening, Sir Nail.  Smiley

I've been sitting here for a while pondering which category you fit into here.

I've narrowed it down to Flat Earther or Tin Foil Hat (possibly both).  Cheesy

The mutations have only just begun, why would it stop mutating.

It could be that the current crop of flu shots (not vaccines) never really worked anyway.

What else can they say when fully vaxed are getting sick and dying.

Another variant.....MFAH.....!!!

It will end with the zulu (phonetic language) variant, the end of mankind.
