> Unless you culture those viruses and test them in the lab, you can't say for sure. At this point, there is no reason to believe that they are expanding or if they can be dangerous, but we flagged it so that we keep our eye on the ball The headline is only responsible if you interpret "could", as "yes, literally it could, just like many other other spike protein mutations" Variants are dangerous and research should be done, but it's not responsible to indicate that every variant is uniquely dangerous. It will weaken the response when/if a true escape variant emerges.
