User ID: 79417150 United States 08/05/2021 06:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The LAMBDA variant is showing vaccine resistance in labs (REUTERS) The Lambda variant of the coronavirus, first identified in Peru and now spreading in South America, is highly infectious and more resistant to vaccines than the original version of the virus the emerged from Wuhan, China, Japanese researchers have found.
In laboratory experiments, they found that three mutations in Lambda's spike protein, known as RSYLTPGD246-253N, 260 L452Q and F490S, help it resist neutralization by vaccine-induced antibodies. Two additional mutations, T76I and L452Q, help make Lambda highly infectious, they found. In a paper posted on Wednesday on bioRxiv ahead of peer review, the researchers warn that with Lambda being labeled a "Variant of Interest" by the World Health Organization, rather than a "Variant of Concern," people might not realize it is a serious ongoing threat. |

because they've yet to isolate the covid19 and the pcr test can't differentiate |

in the real world - viral variants are always more contagious but less deadly. Always. Forever. So what? And honestly - how can you have a variant of something that's never been isolated???? |
