Very good news on the Pfizer vaccine’s effectiveness against the Brazilian variant (considered the worst of the big three).
Since that variant and the South African are so similar, it is not that surprising, because the Pfizer vaccine was already shown to be roughly as effective against the South African variant (although several percentage points less effective than against the most widespread COVID-19 virus, it was still effective enough to have gained authorization at that level).
Pfizer was also extensively tested in Israel’s vaccination program, while the third variant of significance (the UK, or Kent variant) was widespread there. It seems to be highly effective against that variant, by far the most common of the three variants of concern.
PaulR.: That P.1 Variant is a dominant theory for why Brazil has experienced a particularly hard time lately (you asked the other day).
" They tested them against blood samples taken from 15 people two or 4 weeks after they had received a second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine as part of a clinical trial.
The team found that the blood samples were able to neutralize the Brazil variant "roughly" as well as it could neutralize an earlier strain of the virus from January 2020.
CNN reported that the P.1 variant is suspected of fueling a resurgence of coronavirus cases in Brazil.
It was found in 42 per cent of samples in one survey carried out in Manaus
and cases have since emerged in countries including the US, the UK and Japan.
This isn't about a virus, it's about control over every man woman and child on the planet and pushing dangerous masking, psychological torture and experimental injections on the globe.
