English variant virus, Galli: 'It may not be bad anymore.  Vaccine ineffective?  I do not think so

«In the English variant of the virus calm is needed: it may not be bad anymore and perhaps it has already passed. However, even if “the new strain spreads faster, it doesn’t mean it will kill more. And vaccines do not believe that they are ineffective. The infection specialist says so Massimo galli, chief doctor of the Sacco hospital in Milan and professor at the State University of the Lombard capital in Aria on Sunday in La7. «It is clear that this question needs to be better defined. We do not have a scientific publication yet, we have short reports. Okay, let’s be careful, but I’m afraid a lot has probably happened abroad.».

“Vaccines already approved or still under study will work the same way since vaccines cause our body to produce antibodies against many parts of the spike protein and the mutation described affects only a small part. So don’t panic. We monitor, study and continue with the vaccination plan ». He assures it in a post on Facebook. Matteo bassetti, director of the Infectious Diseases Clinic of the San Martino Hospital in Genoa, talking about the new variant of coronavirus that is spreading in England.

“This is a mutated virus that has been temporarily named VUI-202012/0 ** 1. It appears more contagious, which means that it is more easily transmitted from one individual to another, but it is not more aggressive or lethal. Obviously, these are hypotheses that will be confirmed by studies still in progress. This variant is widely and frequently circulating in the south-east of the UK, there have been 17 mutations, the most significant of which is N501Y in the spike protein that the virus uses to adhere to human cells. This mutation, as already mentioned, would make it spread more easily. The infectious specialist recalls that “it is not the first mutation described in the world and it will not even be the last, Similar mutations had already been described in Spain and other countries. Viruses are constantly mutating. It is their way of life: change to survive. It cannot be excluded that this variant is not already circulating in other countries, including Italy. We will have to continue studying the viral genome of the virus strains isolated in our country.
