I’m sure more doctors/scientists than ever out there trying to beat the drum.

Again—not saying all & not saying ongoing research is not needed.

But filter through this kind of stuff & take it with a bit of skepticism.

I’m not saying right or wrong, resistant or not. But everyone needs to remember

I think the narrow slice of researchers who study coronaviruses have PLENTY

You can't just jump into this area of research with any medical background

Your tag line and the article headline don’t 100% agree

I don't care. It's close enough for you to figure out what is possibly going on.

If you were really concerned, you would probably figure that out too.

might be less susceptible to the currently approved vaccines

Funny how they state this in the article but make bold claims in title

Doesn't the title say it "might be vaccine resistant"???

The original article says “might be” and the CB title is “appears to be”

Making a conclusion like that needs scientific backing. Even if you say "might"

Mostlyaccurate

Misleading description doesn't jive with the article title. "Might" isn't appear

mRNA vaccines (Pfizer/Moderna) can be reformulated in six weeks time, if needed

How many doses does it take to grow another arm?

Okay.. let's say it's not as big a deal as the article makes it

Wouldn’t be at all surprised if the new strain is coming from vaccinated people

Any other reputable news outlets reporting this? I’ve never heard of this site

Not sure. This just showed up in my Google Chrome feed. They usually only show

Seems like pretty big news to be picked up by a random, obscure site
