Pfizer vaccine enhances Delta Sars2 infectivity -Japanese study

9-15-21  Japanese study:  When four common mutations were introduced to the Delta variant, Pfizer’s mRNA injection enhanced its infectivity, causing it to become resistant.

A Delta variant with three mutations has already emerged, which suggests it’s only a matter of time before a fourth mutation develops, at which point complete resistance to Pfizer’s jab may be imminent….

bodies still recognized it. This wasn’t the case with four mutations, however, which the researchers called Delta 4+. Not only was Delta 4+ not recognized, but infectivity was enhanced    https://greatgameindia.com/delta-variant-resistant-vaccines/

8-31-21    In the first week of classes 304 undergraduates, 45 graduate students and 15 employees tested positive for COVID-19.  All but eight of these individuals were vaccinated, and the vast majority of them are asymptomatic.  As of Aug. 30, Duke reported 98% of students and 92% of employees are fully vaccinated.  https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/education/article253851373.html

9-16-21   During Cornell U’s opening week, 95 percent of those who were tested had received both COVID-19 shots. Despite this high rate, they noted five times as many cases this year as they saw during the same period last year, prior to the vaccine rollout – even though more students were tested during the first week of school last year (28,951 versus just over 27,000). The positivity rate overall has doubled, jumping from 0.45 percent in 2020 to 1.19 percent in 2021.

This data appears to suggest that the shots are not stopping the virus from spreading. Indeed, it could be spreading more as people gain a false sense of security  https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-09-16-covid-cases-spike-cornell-despite-high-vaccination-rate.html

2-19-21  Japan.  The variant has the E484K mutation and is likely to have been brought in from abroad, officials said.

The mutated strain is believed to be capable of “immune escape,” meaning it can evade the body’s immune system.

9-13-21  The new Mu variant of the novel coronavirus is more than seven times more resistant to antibodies created by vaccinations than the original strain of the virus, a study by a Japanese research team has found.  https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/14439244

8-27-21  Investigators at Osaka University in Japan argue that 4 Delta mutations—K417N, N439K, E484K and N501Y—could help Delta escape vaccine antibodies, though their conclusions were reached through experiments on mice.

“Although Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2-immune sera neutralized the Delta variant, when four common mutations were introduced into the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the Delta variant (Delta 4+), some BNT162b2-immune sera lost neutralizing activity and enhanced the infectivity,” the study states.  https://www.infectioncontroltoday.com/view/delta-variant-mutations-seem-to-elude-vaccine-antibodies
