I hope it's true, but IIUC the title is just a speculation, not based in data:
> Ash said he assesses it would take about two weeks before there is credible information concerning the variant's resistance to existing vaccines. He added that it's likely the vaccines would prevent serious cases of the new variant.
Yeah, technically correct statement in headline, but yet again we have to wait for this variant to demonstrate what its impact will be throughout the world.
It never fails to impress me how effective the brute force strategy viruses employ to master molecular biology is in comparison to humans having to spend decades educating themselves and creating massive institutions to achieve similar results in selected areas of research.
