New variant BA.2.75.2 — in studies of serum from recovered covid patients, it shows “profound escape,” evading the antibodies produced from prior infections, and raising “concerns that it may effectively evade humoral immunity in the population.” https://t.co/3ZqhYGUpT1 pic.twitter.com/Ucq7gecD1G— Scott Gottlieb, MD (@ScottGottliebMD) September 22, 2022
Turns out in fact this pandemic is not in fact "over".
This is towards humoral immunity which is done via people getting naturally infected versus vaccinated, so vaccination is still the best method to reduce covid severity (hoping we eventually get some research indicating it reduces long covid severity as well). Still though this is gonna kill so many damn unvaccinated people (and remember there are folks that wanna get vaccinated but medically cannot so it sucks that we can't stop community spread).
