A new study has found that COVID-19 vaccines may be somewhat vulnerable to the California “Epsilon” strain of virus.
The variant has three spike protein mutations it uses to weaken current vaccines by up to 70 percent, according to researchers from University of Washington and the San Fransisco-based lab Vir Biotechnology.
The strain’s mutations break down neutralized antibodies, which are produced by vaccines such as Pfizer and Moderna and protect against infection, according to the study, published in the journal Science on July 1.

So much mutation in a year’s time but the origins of this thing that had not ever harmed mankind in tens of thousands of years?I'm still not clear on this. I understand all of these "vaccines" (most of them, at least the ones in the U.S.) have been created based on a sequencing of the genome of the virus, not an actual isolated copy of the virus itself. The traditional sort of vaccine would have been based on the latter. Has the SARS-CoV-2 virus ever been successfully isolated?

I don’t know my guess is “no” but that this technology/approach comes from years of research attempting to do that.

There once was a doctor named Fauci
Who's always on TV being grouchy.
You must still wear your mask,
And you can't even ask
If there's a better way than the ouchy.

we’ll get Alpha Beta, which I understand you can contract at the grocery store. Can I get green stamps, too?

Here is one of dozens of research groups that has sequenced the SARS Covid 2 sequence set down to the individual code base. It’s a myth that no one has sequenced it. This bug is easily the most decoded gene set on the whole planet at this point. Hundreds of labs around the world have isolated live virus and decoded it.
