A new COVID variant that infected vaccinated residents and staff at a Kentucky nursing home has been detected in 47 U.S. states, according to data.
The R.1 variant spread through 45 residents and staff at the nursing home after an unvaccinated staff member triggered the infections in March, the Kentucky Department of Public Health revealed.
Due to its mutation, the variant, first detected in Japan, was able to bypass the antibody protection present in the fully vaccinated.
According to Outbreak.info, a website that collects data on COVID variants, as of September 21, R.1 has now infected more than 10,567 people around the world and has been detected in 47 states.
Maryland was found to have the highest number of cases, with 399 cases being detected since it was first found in the country.
In total, 2,259 Americans have been found with the R.1 strain which was first detected in the country on March 15, 2020. The latest case to be detected in the U.S. was on August 6 and was found in 0.5 percent of cases.
Outbreak.info also reported the strain has been found in at least 31 countries worldwide, including China, India and many nations in western Europe.
Despite the low number of infections, former Harvard Medical School professor William A. Haseltine said the new mutations found in the R.1 variant could help it spread more easily.
Writing in Forbes, Haseltine said the five variations found in R.1 can lead to "increased resistance to antibodies."

And we’re just now hearing about it.
Sounds like story to cover for their failing vaccine.
Due to its mutation, ..., was able to bypass the antibody protection present in the fully vaccinated.
What a crock. Lets try “Because the FRANKENSTEIN VACCINES are not really vaccines, they do not have robust recognition mechanisms to detect minor variants as one’s natural immunity has.
total crock of crap. these variants are coming from the VACCINATED and the VACCINATED are totally vulnerable to getting sick as we’re clearly seeing day after day.
“For what” you ask? See my tagline.
“Due to its mutation, the variant, first detected in Japan, was able to bypass the antibody protection present in the fully vaccinated.”
So, how do people with natural immunity, acquired the hard way, do?
In time for the delta to go away and the facts about the failure of the vaccines is coming out.
So...got vax? Got the Covid? Must be new variant....well guess what ...we have new boosters to sell.
Take the Clot Shot, you MUST OBEY!
If anyone’s wondering when this will all be over, in 2025.
Genomic sequencing in a specialized lab reliably detects and differentiates the variants.
Mail-in balloting? That’s so 2020.
Now, it’s news to offset audit results.
IMHO.
BTW, you are aware of an audit in MA? Ongoing right now.
Conspiracy nonsense. Vaccines were never going to be a solution because coronaviruses, by their nature, mutate too fast to keep up with. Pharmaceuticals were more than happy to sell them to a fearful public and gullible governments for huge profit though.
Question is, why haven’t we nuked China yet?
Mutant after mutant after mutant after mutant.....
See where this is going?
Perpetual lockdowns.
Mandate after mandate.
Booster vaccination after booster vaccination.
Etc.
*shakeshead*
This world so phuked.
There’s some movies that are just kind of silly or dopey that I fall in love with anyway. Battleship is o e of those; I watch it every several months
Yes, but how much of that kind of testing is actually happening? My understanding is that most COVID tests are not tested for variants because it is too expensive. Is that inaccurate?
So what are the 10 safe states?
