therapy says scientists now this says in the article that the 501 Y point V2

infect cells this worry scientists because recently developed vaccines and

therapeutics target proteins raising worries that changes could impact the

efficacy of treatments and vaccines now goes on to say researchers said the

data emphasizes the risk of reinfection and may foreshadow reduced efficacy of

current spike based vaccines. Now we're hearing we're hearing how much

reduction several fold decrease in reduction and that's just out the gates

right now from the early data. One of the articles this was apparently more

Dernas early data on this gave it a six fold less decrease so the South

African variant results in a six fold reduction antibodies when confronted
