KEY POINTS:
* Moderna’s new Covid vaccine generated a strong immune response against BA.2.86, a highly mutated omicron variant that health officials are watching closely, according to clinical trial data the biotech company released Wednesday.
*Moderna, Pfizer and Novavax are slated to roll out new vaccines targeting another omicron strain, pending potential approvals from the FDA.
* Moderna’s new trial results suggest that the company’s jab will still be effective against newer variants of the virus, even as XBB.1.5 declines nationwide.
Moderna’s new Covid vaccine produced a strong immune response against BA.2.86, a highly mutated omicron variant that health officials are watching closely, according to clinical trial data the biotech company released Wednesday.
The updated shot produced an 8.7-fold increase in protective antibodies against BA.2.86, which has been detected in small numbers nationwide. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention previously said the strain, also known as “Pirola,” may be more capable of escaping antibodies from earlier infections and vaccinations, but new research also suggests that the variant may be less immune-evasive than feared.
Moderna is the first out of the companies producing updated Covid jabs to release data on how its shot fares against BA.2.86. Moderna, Pfizer and Novavax are slated to roll out new vaccines targeting another omicron strain called XBB.1.5 within weeks, pending potential approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Moderna’s trial results suggest that the company’s jab will still be effective against newer variants of the virus as XBB.1.5 declines nationwide. Last month, Moderna also released clinical trial data suggesting that its new shot provides protection against the now-dominant EG.5, or “Eris,” variant and another rapidly spreading strain called FL.1.5.1.

Sure. Just like the last one.
They lied last time... telling the truth this time?!
“in trial” ? since when have they conducted open source trials?
and the guinea pigs responded....
I believe Moderna about as far as I can throw Chris Christie.
Just in time
I found you just in time
Liars say ‘what?’
highly effective? What? The peeps didn’t get the sniffles? Phew!
What does anyone think they would say. We tried and failed once again? The love of (big pharma) money is the root of all (kinds of) evil.
I’ll wait until they create variant FAUCI1.2345678999999 which will have a 100% kill rate, before I take one of their jabs. Even then, I’ll probably just sit in my room and read my Bible.
At some point the Lord will return and put an end to these murderers.
That was one quick trial.
How many of the mice died?
Precisely! Moderna has spent whatever goodwill and trust it had on the last vaccine. Fool me once...
FDA rubber stamped
How about shoving that vaxx where the sun don’t shine.
Will it keep you from getting it?
Answer Yes or No please.
Gaslighting with junk science.
