Division Bell Intervention Needed

Articles from CNN, WaPo, NY Times etc. so it's entirely possible that it's fake news (given Google's other recommendations).

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

I doubt it’s a narrow slice of researchers. Lots of $ out there.

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

From the article: “Might be less susceptible” and “more investigation is needed”

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

Mostlyaccurate

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

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

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?

Blue Ghost

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

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

franklyvulgar
