You mean the "variant" with "significant mutations in the spike protein" (target of the mRNA vaccines)?
Nah.
call me crazy but wouldn't it make sense to modify the vaccine based on the variants we have now and use those for boosters? think about the PR problem of telling people who just got the booster of the original that in 3 or 4 months they should get a booster with the new recipe.
if the goal is to be forward looking seems we'd tone down the get the booster (or kids first version) right away talk focus on getting a better version of the vax
At best, they are skating where the puck is now and not where it is going. I say at best because I assumed that the original series of vaccines were based on the spike proteins of the most common variant in 2020. By the time they made it to market, there were other variants out there that made them essentially useless.call me crazy but wouldn't it make sense to modify the vaccine based on the variants we have now and use those for boosters? think about the PR problem of telling people who just got the booster of the original that in 3 or 4 months they should get a booster with the new recipe.

I'm giving them the benefit of doubt to even suggest this because I'm not sure if they are even modifying anything for this variant or any of the previous ones.
That can't be. I watched the news this morning and there was no mention of this, if it were true the newstainment shows would be all over it just like when FLs numbers were spiking.
Thank you for the well wishes. Her religious exemption was granted without any utterances of protestation.Hey @McDad hopefully something similar happens for your wife.

Moderna supposedly modified their booster for Delta. Pfizer didn't modify their booster at all. Of course, none of these are really vaccines.At best, they are skating where the puck is now and not where it is going.
