FOX News/AP: Lambda variant raises concern due to ‘unusual’ mutations
Vaccines most used in Western countries appear to offer strong protection against variants
The Lambda variant, which is believed to have been first detected in Peru about a year ago, is a new concern to scientists who say mutations could potentially be resistant to COVID-19 vaccines.
The World Health Organization said the variant’s mutations could increase its transmissibility or possibly increase its resistance to "neutralizing antibodies."
The health body called Lambda, or C.37, a "variant of interest."

as usual, a new variant is claimed to exist, raises concerns, is X% more transmissible, and "experts" release unclear messages about vaccine efficacy
How much more infectiously infectious can these variants be when the original Wuhan virus was the most infectiously infectious infection in the history of viruses. It's getting to the point where if we talk about the vurus or even think about it, we'll catch it....!!! Keep ducking 🤢
It is obvious WNU does not know cell biology. I don't know much myself, but one can reason through things. There is a maximum limit to transmissibility.
If every variant is more transmissible than the one before sooner rather than later scientists will have to borrow lingo from Calvin & Hobbes like "Three hundred billion gazillion".
Eleventy Zillion
Or these scientist will sound worse than Joe Biden.
Joe Biden: "Somewhere between 700 billion and a trillion 300 million billion dollars"
Too much time is spent on spike proteins. What goes on when the virus enters the cell and floats in the protoplasm?
We are being misled and ruled by idiots.
Time for someone to start wearing 2 masks again...and maybe now stop flooding the country with unvetted and untested central and South American?
Again So What? You want us to put the mouth jockstraps on again?
All was great under trump right?
The vaccines don't work -- take them anyway
The vaccines make people sick -- take them anyway
We should talk about the punishment for those who push untested drugs, with no long term safety profile on an unwilling and uninformed population.
Read up on Nurnberg trials and what we do with people who try to vaccinate you against your will. Hint: the sentence is death, typically executed by public hanging by the neck until death, and there's a reason for this drastic measure. Inform yourself. Resist tyranny. Resist fascism. Resist oligopoly.
Hang them, live free again
No one forcing dopes and misfits to get shots
Live free and die
Way to go Fred. No one mention Biden, Kamala, Democrats or liberals. Yet, you jumped right in their with your signature cannonball, which look more like a belly flop.
Vaccinated Israeli Student Catches COVID from Vaccinated Relative and Then Infects 83 High School Students — But Please Take your Vaccines!
The above article is true assuming the Israelis did their contact tracing correctly.
I can't believe the former, retired something or other, who has an IQ in the lowest quintile, is chastising people.
Fred, better than now
Live free and get your antibodies the natural way.
Take or do not take vaccine
I simply do not care
Now stalker your next girlie snark?
Fred, you are a person, who is functionally illiterate in science and math and so many other things.
I had the vaccine. It was annoying with all the bureaucracy the fucking governor put in place. So there was the wait for the Trump vaccines. What is irritating is the COVID passports and the call for COVID passports. What is irritating is how the control freaks miscount herd immunity. Herd immunity are people, who have gotten natural immunity or got vaccinated. What is irritating is the unnecessary lockdowns. What is irritating is the doctored PCR cycles. What is irritating is the the doctored death certificates. What is irritating is the variant scare stories. What is irritating is you do not know how a cell works. What is irritating is that the debt ballooned. What is irritating is the economy was killed.
You are one of the dumbest people I know, a nasty run of the mill troll or a foreign troll. It really does not matter at his point.
Oh and you are a stalker. You do not come here to debate or learn. You come here to monitor and gum up the works.
