![]() I made a long post a few days ago about vaccines and Covid variants. I ended up deleting it because I don't usually like to make long posts but these variants are getting way too dangerous. It turns out even if you are vaccinated with Pfizer or Moderna they don't work as well vs some variants. It is believed that these variants are created when the virus infects an immunocompromised person. The virus lives inside the person for an extended amount of time enabling it to create mutations while battling a weakened immune system. For example, B.1.1.7 aka the UK variant was traced back to a cancer patient who had Covid for 101 day before he died. He had a weakened immune system and was treated with antiviral and antibody treatments. The virus used that environment to mutate enough to avoid antibodies.
The P.1 variant is more recently discovered than B.1.1.7. P.1 is looking like it might be the most dangerous yet. vaccines are not nearly as effective against it and its killings younger people at much higher rates. This variant originated in Brazil and has now taken over most cases. Brazil just reached 4k deaths a day threshold. Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: Even though you might get both doses of your vaccine they are not nearly as effective against these new variants. Still wear you mask and keep your guard up until a majority of the population are vaccinated and it lessens the amount of variants. Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: |

They adjust the vaccine and provide Boosters.
