Research was done on 2 prongs: First was by comparing data, analyzing over 1.8 million #SARSCoV2 genomes from 183 countries.. comparing to vaccination rates.. 2/n medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
Remember the 2 prong approach of this study ? So after macro analysis of data.. now a micro level; comparing vaccinated & unvaccinated individuals..
Results validate the conclusion
But sample size is small:
vaccinated, n = 23
unvaccinated, n = 30 .. 6/n medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
To cut a long story short..
Vaccinated individuals have LESS mutation of the virus, compared to unvaccinated ones !! .. 7/n medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
So what take homes can we gather ? 1) For sure, with vaccination reducing mutation.. this will definitely reduce chance of future emergence of VOCs .. 2) Reducing mutation may make virus more susceptible to antibodies & reduce breakthrough infection in vaccinated individuals ..

Latest update: 1st Aug 2022, 10.45am.. Leaking Sewage @ Jln Masjid Negeri, near Autopont Flyover Bridge to Lam Wah Ee Hospital !! It's BAD !! @IwkComms in #Penang has been informed. #IWK ..
Now to the uninitiated.. @KKMPutrajaya has been putting out our #COVID19 data in a website called #CovidNow as below 👇🏻 ..
which gives a full range of info like vaccination rates, hospitalization data, case numbers etc .. #Malaysia .. 1/n covidnow.moh.gov.my
Nevertheless, current #COVID19 data in #Malaysia definitely shows a rising trend. I'm sure many amongst us are seeing cases in our friends, acquaintances, work colleagues, students, church family etc..
Is there a commonality in the present cases, especially the clusters ? .. 2/n
Taking present "official" 20 #COVID19 clusters in #Malaysia (I say "official" some obvious "clusters" were not reported eg: by JKN, in #Penang ) .. 🤔
Back to the "official" 20 clusters:
10 = Education 50%
8 = High Risk 40%
1 = Detention Centre 5%
1 = Workplace 5% .. 3/n
