Infectious Disease Ping - covid variant (Brazil) may be controlled by Pfizer vaccine
A very small study which suggests Pfizer vaccine possible effectiveness

" 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.
