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.

Since the CDC admits there are no knownexamples of the whuFlu in labs, hoe do these fear mongers explain their differentiating these ‘strains’ of this chicomflu?

We must live with Covid-terror for the rest of our lives, which will be very short if the Covid-terrorists have their way.

The Epsilon “California” strain has been around a year now, and never really took over. It has pretty much been squashed by other strains. Even here in CA, it accounts for less than 2% of infections. They’re pumping up fear for a strain that is dying out.
