Early study suggests Pfizer vaccine effective against COVID-19 mutations

The coronavirus vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech appears effective against mutations, according to a new study.A study by Pfizer and researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch indicates the company's COVID-19 vaccine is effective against mutations of the coronavirus."So we've now tested 16 different mutations, and none of them have really had any significant impact. That's the good news," Phil Dormitzer, a scientist at Pfizer, said Thursday.

Viral mutations are a typical occurrence and is there no indication that any to date have made COVID-19 more dangerous than it already is. And while vaccines can be tweaked to address new variations, there is no sign that is necessary yet. "So we've now tested 16 different mutations, and none of them have really had any significant impact. That's the good news," Phil Dormitzer, a scientist at Pfizer, said Thursday. "That doesn't mean that the 17th won't."

BobbyBeltTX The mutations represent about 1% of the total gene sequencing along the binding domain of the spike protein the vaccine covers the other 99% so even if it mutated more maybe the efficacy goes from 95 to 90% I’d still rather get a vaccine from Pfizer than a virus from China

Just a business ad

Works for South Africa strain ?

FALSH 'viruss' ... Only i.Diots believe you ... it's normal flu like every year ... He ha buhhhha Ha haha he ha ha Ha haha he ha ha ... The dead people in U.K. ... Ireland and 100 Countries in the World for year are on SAME level or even LOW than previous years ...It's Lies.FAKE.

I did not expect a different report, who will take a vaccine that doesn’t work for all strains anyway
