A newly discovered mutation of the Coronavirus in India may end up completely upending plans to develop a vaccine for the lethal virus. As Fox News reports:
A coronavirus strain isolated in India carried a mutation that could render current international vaccine efforts useless, researchers in Australia and Taiwan warned.
Scientists have been targeting the same process that allowed the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) to infect people but the mutation found throws them off course…
Collaborators from Murdoch University in Australia along with research authors Wei-Lung of the National Changhua University of Education in Taiwan said the strain in India was the first report of a significant mutation of the series.
“The observation of this study raised the alarm that Sars-CoV-2 mutation that varied epitope (something that an antibody attaches itself to) profile could arise at any time. This means current vaccine development against Sars-CoV-2 is at great risk of becoming futile.”
With many hopes for reopening the global economy based on the development of the vaccine, this potential develop could spell catastrophe.
Lets hear it for China!!!
China’s gift to the world!!!
Other than lip service, will our world famous spineless elected bureaucrats take action, any action, against China for this????????
Answer: The only action we’ll see American lifer bureaucrats take is democrats will increase U.S. taxpayer funded foreign aid to China in an effort to show them that we’re not xenophobic against Chinese.
Why not use one of the cures? If you think we are going to line up for another flu shot that doesn’t work, your nuts!
So, it becomes more of a Flu type vaccine that is always changing.
