The two most commonly used COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. may not be as effective against the Indian 'Delta' variant, a new study finds
In a statement, Pfizer said it “expect[s] to be able to develop and produce a tailor-made vaccine against that variant in approximately 100 days after a decision to do so, subject to regulatory approval.”
There is also growing conversation about booster shots being made available for Americans in the near future to continue immunity against virus variants.

By then, there will probably be a new variant.
New Health Ministry statistics indicated that, on average, the Pfizer shot — the vaccine given to nearly all Israelis — is now just 39% effective against infection, while being only 41% effective in preventing symptomatic COVID.
People vaccinated in January were said to have just 16% protection against infection now, while in those vaccinated in April, effectiveness was at 75%.
And you believe this too?

Everyone needs to catch good old fashioned Original Brand Covid-19. Once you've done that, 99.5% chance you'll live to not contract Covid-19 again, according to the CDC.
No vaccine or variant worries to interfere with enjoying life.

I’ve had it twice, maybe three times now since December ‘19.
Isn’t this theoretically possible with mutations?
Sounds concerning.
If only we knew we could believe these shysters, maybe we wouldn’t, ahem, be so concerned?
Neither do you.

You don't know what you had.
The test is positive for influenza
The false positives are off the hook
It hasn't been isolated yet.
I can't believe there are people on ats still swallowing this load of manure.
