@sajidjavid uses the word HAVE not DO ..... the devil is in the detail and he knows that the vaccine no longer works for the #DeltaVariant or any of its offspring !
1. The novel coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2, has a complex structure, and different parts of the virus trigger the immune system to produce different antibodies to neutralise the virus.
2. If an unvaccinated person catches the virus, they will produce antibodies that prevent the virus from entering human cells. They may also generate antibodies that do not have much impact.
3. mRNA vaccines are much more specific. They are designed to only trigger an immune response to the virus’s spike protein, which is just one component of the viral membrane and enables the virus to invade our cells.
4. The #DeltaVariant has become the predominant variant in the U.K. because it does not rely upon the spike protein as it main vector of attack, enabling the virus to #breakthrough and invade the cells of the vaccinated with the current mRNA vaccine.
5. Knowing that the existing mRNA vaccine does not work for the #DeltaVariant and therefore not for its subsequent relatives.... is why @sajidjavid used the word HAVE in the past tense ! He knows !
