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.

The strain’s mutations break down neutralized antibodies, which are produced by vaccines such as Pfizer and Moderna and protect against infection... I'm confused...
Is it the odd weeks that the vaccine prevents infection and the even weeks that the vaccine reduces symptoms, or is it the odd weeks that reduce symptoms and even weeks that prevent infection?

Boy these pesky variants just never quit do they. Funny how the national case load and death rate continue to subside into virtually nothing.

What do they do after the omega strain? I hope they push it that far. Omega is where we start wearing green velvet blazers and shooting zombies.
