I think someone should clarify the strands vs. genetic variations here.

Because the reports from Denmarks Mink fiasco indicated that antibodies were not as effective on the mutation that appeared there short time ago. This would contradict the one-fits-all immunity argument.

The Danish mink mutation is the exception to the rule; that's why the government is taking extreme measures to contain it.

What I was trying to say is: I think in the thread above people are talking about different things.

For the "danish mink mutation" - even if the exception to the rule - some of the above statements might not be true.

I don't think that argument is being made at all.

In fact, you only need to consider that the max efficiency that's advertised is 90% to acknowledge that this vaccine is not a silver bullet.

But, that's literally what was being said above..?
