Coronavirus variants contradict the predictions of genetic entropy proponents

And why, given the difference in reactivity between vaccine-elicited and infection-elicited neutralizing antibody against E84K, should there be any concern about the vaccine other than to speed up its use?

There may be several concerns. For example:

1. the number of sera tested by the authors is very limited, so it is difficult to generalize the results.
2. it indeed seems that the E84K variant elicits enough neutralizing antibodies, but it cannot be excluded that other variants will emerge in the near future that will escape neutralizing antibodies and, as a result, threaten to elicit ADE.

This being said, until now, it is true that things seems to go well, as the post below shows, and this is good news.

Hopeful vaccine news

Thanks for posting that article, Michelle. It’s a significant exception to the press’s general failure to explain these parameters coherently.
