According to researchers, This virus is 78% similar to the original SARS-Cov-1 virus that was around in the early 2000s. Early on in the pandemic, because of its similarities researchers wanted to see if people that had gotten infected with, and recovered from SARS-Cov-1 still had any antibodies/natural immunity from the current SARS-Cov-2 strain. So they examined blood samples from some of these people and discovered that yes they did have antibodies/immunity from SARS-Cov-2. Now fast forward to the current situation with some of these variants of SARS-Cov-2 (ie Delta variant). According to a former Phizer VP and molecular biologist, these variants are no more than 0.3% different than the original strain. Said another way, its 99.7% similar. So, the next obvious question is: If someone that had SARS-Cov-1, which is 78% similar to the SARS-Cov-2, still retains natural immunity, then how can someone with a vaccine against SARS-Cov-2 not be protected from a variant that is 99.7% similar to the original strain??? That doesn’t make sense. Then the only question left to ask is: Why isn’t the vaccine protecting someone from a variant that is only 0.3% different?? My conclusion from that information is that this EUA vaccine is not performing the way it was intended. My conclusions are just that, mine. But you can read this information and form your own opinion.
