The R.1 variant has mutations that could help it bypass the protections given to people by receiving two doses of the vaccine.

This means it could make the variant better at evading those antibodies that are created by having the vaccine and in those who have already been infected.

R.1 also shares a mutation with other variants, namely C241U, NSP12: P323L and D614G. D614G causes increased infections while it is not known what effect the other two have. All three mutations have been detected in strains that superseded the original Wuhan strain.

What use getting vaccinated finally?

So many unanswered questions. •Were safety protocols still in place? •What was the time frame between being vaccinated and infection with R1 variant? •What was the age range of those reinfected? •What vaccine did they receive? •Were they fully vaccinated? ...

COVID is startin' to become like a Zombie that keeps finding new ways to infect you besides using it's teeth.

Gotta sell those shots.
