I did not know that, honestly quite surprised!
One thing to keep in consideration is that there is a very big evolutionary pressure for covid to get a mutation that bypasses the vaccine antibodies and still infect others, given that there are so many active infections still out there.
I now have good hope though!
- slver 5y agoYou didn't know that, because it's most likely BS. BTW people and chimpanzees share 99% of their DNA. We're basically the same, aren't we. /s 80% is not close at all, and 99.7% still can render a vaccine ineffective, of course the specifics matter.
- bart__ 5y agoTo be fair humans are almost identical to chimpanzees biologically in many ways. As long as the spike proteins tertiary structure has not changed to much from SARS to COVID, op could be correct. Emphasis on could.
- slver 5y agoEmphasis affirmed.
- autokad 5y agoI feel like talking about genes in % similarity seems to be useless.
- slver 5y agoThat was the point I was trying to drive home, more or less.
