The biotechnology company that partnered with Pfizer to create a COVID-19 vaccine is testing the jab they developed to see if it could protect against the new coronavirus variant detected in South Africa.

The German company is testing the B.1.1.259 strain to determine if the vaccine will need to be modified as a spokesperson noted the South African variant"differs significantly from previously observed variants".told Reuters"These data will provide more information about whether B.1.1.529 could be an escape variant that may require an adjustment of our vaccine if the variant spreads globally.

"A booster dose of an authorized vaccine represents the only current available strategy for boosting waning immunity," it said in a statement. Flights from nine southern African countries have been banned by up to a dozen countries with travellers rushing to find flights home.

There is no current indication the latest strain is more severe or affects the efficacy of the coronavirus vaccine but flagged there is"significant transmission" in South Africa.

After a thorough tests, sorry. Almost not quiet there. Everyone will need to get couple of boosters until Fauci and other clowns make another variant. I can’t believe that most people can’t see the game

Off course it won't they need a new vaccine that will require 4 shots, and 3 boosters big pharma is made this mess u can't vaccinate your self out off a plandemic

Ooft the anti vaxxers are strong on this post 😂

And there it is 😂😂

The bigger question is why hasn’t AUKUS & the European Union as well as other “democracies”gone after China for wreaking this global genocide, it’s apparent that these nations have whored out to the CCP for the margins from financial benefit Africa as a whole is a resource target

Monoclonal antibodies?

Obviously they'll say it works so that people buy more 🙄. Which company will say their product does not work?
