Great. The vaccine that's killing people is now proven to be worthless. Someone caught the rona after both vaccines.

@coyote
How much time passed between the second vaccine and getting corona?

@alyx @coyote depends on the mutation rate of the virus. Cold vaccines *totally work* amirite? Since this is a corona virus I'd expect that resistance works about a well against other corona virus stains, and most people get the cold every year.

@CuluraChimera @coyote
I don't think this case is a mutation issue. The problem is, the vaccine doesn't take effect immediately anyway. Even after the booster shot, you still have to wait a decent amount of time before you can expect your immune system to be ready.

A second potential problem is that, as for any vaccine out there, there is a small percentage chance that the vaccine does nothing for you.

Mutation rate might be a problem too, but so far, from my understanding, the current mutations in the wild should not effect the efficacy of the vaccine.

@alyx @coyote idk if it's been long enough to tell. I guess we'd need to see if the immunity works for the uk/south African variants

@CuluraChimera @coyote
Don't know about the African variant, but from my understanding they've investigated the UK strain enough to be confident that the vaccine should work.
