Ah crap. Another media outlet goes with vaccines create variants
Quoting: lightning1977 So that's two media outlets saying the same thing today. But keep pushing it! WTF  [ link to www.dailymail.co.uk (secure)]  Echoes of Vanden Bossche again... Article also mentions the recombination of the SA variant which CC suggested last week. A doomsday new Covid variant that could kill UP TO one in three people is a realistic possibility, according to the Government's top scientists.
Documents published by the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) today warned a future strain could be as deadly as MERS — which which has a case fatality rate of 35 per cent — could be on the way.
No10's expert panel It said the likelihood of the virus mutating is highest when it is most prevalent — as is currently the case in Britain.
And a downside of Britain's hugely successful vaccine drive, it appears the country's greater levels of immunity could help speed up the process.
Scientists unveiled the threat of a super mutant variant in a paper looking at potential scenarios that could emerge in the not-so-distant future.
Experts said a future strain could be resistant to vaccines if it came about by the jab-resistant South Africa Beta variant combining with the more transmissible Kent Alpha or 'India' Delta variants.
The process — known as recombination — could lead to a strain with increased morbidity and mortality.
The team admitted vaccines should work unless there was an extra-potent mutation that rendered jabs much less effective at blocking serious disease — which many experts say is unlikely.
But they said the extra lethality would be expected even in the face of vaccination since vaccines do not provide absolute sterilising immunity.
The prospect of a deadlier variant is a realistic possibility and would have a huge impact on the UK's death toll moving forward, the scientists said. less than 50% [ link to www.dailymail.co.uk (secure)]  If the vaccine does not prevent a new variant from minimizing hospitalizations, the vaccine becomes worthless. To me, the reduction in hospitalizations is the only % that counts. Everything else is just fluff. Do I care if I get infected, no. Do I care if am laid up in my own house as sick as a dog, no. Do I care if I have to be hospitalized, gasping for every breath, thinking it might be my last, and wracking up horrendous hospital bills for my family? YES. I. DO. .... So far, as of July 30th, 2021, “Almost everyone hospitalized with COVID-19 in LA County is unvaccinated; in the month of June, 92% of those hospitalized with COVID-19 were unvaccinated,”.
