- ianai 5y agoTrue but the mRNAs have held up well against every variant to this point. It's not even something I'm comfortable banking on against this new variant, but we're far from concluding this is a problem, too. Edit-I'm thinking it's like 66% against this VOC from escaping the vaccines and 33% pro, very roughly.
