Finnish experts who detected variant called combination of mutations 'unique'. However, Taru Meri, from Vita Laboratories, told local media in Finland today: 'Details about the infectivity and potential resistance of this strain to vaccines are not yet known. [link to www.dailymail.co.uk (secure)] Until the spread of the virus is stopped... there's always the chance of potentially problematic mutations. Some say that after the vaccine rollout is complete 'living' with the virus is the way to go. I'm not so sure. |

Not enough time to conduct that study, in my opinion. Quoting: Serenity Now Yep. Plus many countries are seeing infections reduce naturally right now... but it's nothing to do with the vaccines it's just the usual ebb and flow that comes with this pandemic. Let's see that study be conducted again in Israel in a couple of months when the next wave starts and they have some of the dodgy variants circulating. |
