Science Study says new Lambda variant could be vaccine-resistant - Despite the article taking every chance to say "could", the research concluded that it, in fact, does.

• A report sequenced samples of the lambda COVID-19 variant to see if it was resistant to humoral immunity.
• Researchers identified a site at the spike protein’s binding receptor that potentially confers immune resistance along the lambda’s spike protein.
• This study has not been peer reviewed.

The lambda variant, a COVID-19 mutation first identified in Peru that is quickly popping up worldwide, has been highlighted by governing bodies like the World Health Organizations (WHO) as a variant of interest. But a new study suggests that it may be resistant to some vaccines.
A preprinted whitepaper published in late July focused on the mutation that distinguishes the lambda variant, denoted as C.37, within its S protein, found in the cell’s binding receptor.
The mutation at this location on the virus is associated with being resistant to immunization efforts.
Using data from the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data database, researchers found three mutations within the lambda spike protein that could mean resistance to antibodies induced in humans by vaccines.
“Our results suggest that the resistance of the Lambda variant against antiviral humoral immunity was conferred by the RSYLTPGD246-253N mutation,” the report concludes.
The RSYLTPGD246-253N mutation, along with two other mutations identified when synthesizing the COVID-19 samples, specifically resists immunity from antibodies generated by the human body.
Notably, the study sampled genome sequences from South American countries like Chile, Peru and Argentina, where the lambda variant is the dominant strain.
Chile’s primary vaccine is developed by Sinovac, rather than the common Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna shots used in the U.S.
The study is not peer reviewed.

Can't wait for the variant that makes your dick fall off.

Tbh some days I idly wish that it would go full Black Plague and wipe away this dead gay system of ours.

I want it just so I have an excuse not to go into work.

Hey, that's cool. Let's stop forcing the vaccine on people, then. It was already ineffective.

Username checks out.

But for real, though, I totally get it. At least if covid was a full Black Plague, I'd be dead and wouldn't have to think about how much clownier the world is going to get next month.

I've honestly just stopped watching and reading mainstream news altogether. Can't be arsed to hear about some new variant that turns out to not be so bad after all. I don't give a shite anymore. The mainstream media is a virus is all I can say.

Too many people have brainlessly swallowed all the info the telly has told them without question. They're taking it way too seriously.

The response now is just irrational, illogical and over the top at this point. The amount of people I see outside wearing masks is crazy. Just live and lighten up for Christ's sake! You only make your life all doom and gloom if you choose to!

Can't wait until people start having to inevitably pay for their vaccine boosters, so that their immune systems become a subscription-based service.

This is big pharma we're talking about, they're almost certainly salivating at the prospect.

They're still operating under the delusion that the MSM exists primarily out of a sense of altruism, to inform them of very important, 100% true information that is crucial to their everyday lives. They don't understand that it exists to turn profit by gaining their attention and selling it to advertisers.
