https://fox8.com/news/south-african-variant-may-be-able-to-break-through-pfizer-vaccine-study-finds/ What are you doing in my neck of the woods?

For what it is worth, local stations have been running all sorts of sensational stories the last couple of weeks. I will follow up on this one.


EDIT: This is not a local report, but off of the the NEXSTAR wire, based on a very small sample size in a non-pear reviewed report from Israel.

University Hospital and the Cleveland Clinic have been heavily involved with the Pfizer vaccine and i would have expected good reporting to have included the latest from those two institutions. I have to conclude this report is just a headline grabber as local stations are entering the ratings weeks.

I would say like the flu not all vaccines are efficient for all types of variants. You may find in the future, future Covid vaccines may work similar to flu vaccines.

As I said a week or so ago the flu vaccine is not the same each year, they look at the flu season in each of the hemisphere's to determine which flu would be best to vaccine against. Our flu season is coming up, so they would have looked at the northern hemisphere flu for the vaccine they'd use this winter and vice versa for Northern hemisphere winter.

Covid is new and they are still learning about it. It's just early days at the moment. Eventually I'm sure they will be very effective on how to vaccine against all variants and even the new variants as they say it's always mutating. I'm not sure if it will ever stop. It's early days.

As New Zealand continues its rollout of the Pfizer Covid-19 jab, a leading vaccine expert says there’s still a lot to learn about them.
But the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine in particular is so far proving effective, Graham Le Gros of the Vaccine Alliance Aotearoa says.:

So Michigan has no plans of shutting down despite being the hotspot for COVID right now... because it is young people in hospitals and there is "no appetite" for another lockdown.

Smh. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

The risk of developing a blood clot after having COVID-19 is eight times higher than after being given the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, according to a study by Oxford University.
Around a third of reports of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) after COVID-19 infection were in people under 30: link:
