* Spike proteins in the California 'Epsilon' variant may be able to evade the neutralizing antibodies in Pfizer and Moderna vaccines
* Effectiveness of vaccines could potentially be reduced by 50 to 70 percent against the strain
* The findings mean that the vaccines will not be effective in combatting the variant
* Over 97% of cases of the Epsilon variant have been detected in the U.S., with almost half in California
Fully vaccinated people may still be at risk of infection from the California 'Epsilon' coronavirus variant, a new study finds.
Researchers from the University of Washington and Vir Biotechnology, based in San Francisco, found that the variant had three mutations on the spike protein, which the virus uses to enter and infect human cells.
These mutations could provide resistance to neutralizing antibodies generated by the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines.
What's more, the mutations may be able to evade natural antibodies a person forms after being infected with the virus.

I'm still more concerned about the Lambda Lambda Lambda variant....
What are the results so far with the "looking into" the Wuhan lab connection? Anything? If this shit was created in a Chinese lab then released (even if accidentally), there needs to be holy hell raised, and I mean some serious, long-term consequences. Question is, do China's bed buddies in our media and government even care?
I am concerned about the 2 million aliens coming over illegally this year variant. Don't bother us with more Covid scare BS while no one gives a flying F**k about covid coming in with illegals. Plus I am in a red, red state. No shutdowns will happen here.
No no guys don't talk about who is responsible for this, who created it..
Please guys, do you want to be called racist? Any discussion of facts, according to the fanatic left and colluding corrupt corporate media lynchmen makes you racist, likely a patriot and we all know what that means: far ultra white extremist, according to genius and race saint Don Lemon.
Lol
Look... it's a takeover by corporate state partnership, ie fascism. The people making bank are the same people who suppress information on it
Amazon suppressed and banned crucial information and books on the disease and treatment methods
Twitter, Facebook Google and YouTube colluded in the suppression of a) origin, b) alternative medical solutions that are cheaper and with better safety record, eg hydroxychloroquine
The suppression of information, the banning of people on the right, suggesting from where it came from, the suppression of medical information likely together made the pandemic worse and killed more people.
They know it.
You know it.
They're tyrants. Oligopoly tyrants. Playing with your lives while enriching themselves and deciding what's truth.
It's the ultimate sin and conspiracy against the vast population they want to rule and enslave in this power grab.
It's their goal to keep you dumb and uninformed to solidify their already vast powers.
It's our job as free men and women to hold them accountable and publicly punish them for all to see that we will not tolerate this tyranny any longer
And the theft in trillions.
YOU pay for their yachts.
And who created the virus and who pushes unsafe drugs against all 10 Nurnberg codes? This alone warrants hanging by the neck until death. Inform yourself resist the medical tyranny.
Death to tyrants around the world!
If you have full proof of the original, provide it. If not, then stop the needless able because our nation is NOT going to go to war with China because some ill-informed dolt believes something that has not been verified.
Why do you talk about yourself Lapides?
Call your male ex-student, he's dying to talk to you about old times.
They are going to run out of Greek names long before they variants stop making new variants
