Very interesting. I wonder whether it is capable of outcompeting Delta? And whether there will be original antigenic sin disadvantage conferred to those that took the Spike protein vaccines because the body will mount a defense against a Spike protein that is significantly mutated, causing longer and worse infections and snowballing numbers of mutations. The vaccine induced lack of defense diversity has always been a single point of failure that the virus was bound to take advantage of, but to see it potentially happening is worth watching.<p>This seems to be a potential worse case scenario, albeit a pretty predictable one. Fingers crossed.
