The South Africa mutant B.1351 of the corona virus is very worrisome.

Karl Lauterbach expresses concerns about the effect of the corona vaccines.

Contradiction follows promptly.

  • Coronavirus pandemic in Germany

    : The number of

    Covid 19 cases will

    remain high at the end of January 2021.

  • And: The

    corona mutations

    are

    causing

    great concern

    with a view to

    spring

    and

    summer

    .

  • Karl Lauterbach

    now provides a worrying assessment of the

    South African mutant B.1351

    .

Munich / Berlin - How long do the

vaccines

protect

against the

coronavirus

?

And do they withstand the

Corona mutants

?

SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach

, whose assessments were

often confirmed

in the

corona pandemic

, shared

several bad news in this context

via the short message service

Twitter

.

Coronavirus mutations: Karl Lauterbach has bad news because of South Africa variant B.1351

"Good and bad news:

Novavax vaccine

very strong in the early phases, shows 90% effectiveness in the standard variant and UK variant in an interim

analysis

,

" he said of the expected further vaccine from

Novavax

- and then relativized his assessment of effectiveness: "This drops

to 50%

with

South Africa variant B1351

!

Many with

B1351 also

had

Covid

before

. "

(2) It shows how extremely dangerous the South African variant is.

At Moderna and BionTech, too, the effect there fell very sharply.

If instead of the 95% effect only 50% remains, you will not get herd immunity through vaccination.

Because the R value of B1351 is too high, vaccination too weak

- Karl Lauterbach (@Karl_Lauterbach) January 28, 2021

According to Lauterbach, this shows “how extremely dangerous the

South Africa variant

is.

At

Moderna

and

BionTech

,

too

, the effect there fell very sharply.

If, instead of the 95% effect, only 50% remains, you will not get

herd immunity

through vaccination.

Because the R value of B1351 is too high, vaccination too weak. "

The misspellings and missing words can

be explained

by the limited number of characters on

Twitter

.

Lauterbach gave further assessments - accordingly,

a higher vaccination rate is

needed because of the

mutants

.

Karl Lauterbach on Corona mutant: "In B.1351 South Africa, herd immunity of 80 percent will probably be necessary"

“With the R-value of

B1351

South Africa

,

herd immunity

of 80%

is likely to be

required.

No vaccination with 50% effectiveness does this.

There is only one solution:

adjust

vaccinations

and avoid the spread of this mutation until then, ”the 57-year-old continued.

  • Findings about the corona mutant B.1351 from South Africa - according to Karl Lauterbach:

  • Effect of the coronavirus vaccines (allegedly) sometimes only 50 percent.

  • Many people infected with variant B.1351 had previously contracted another corona variant.

  • "With the R-value of B.1351-South Africa, herd immunity of 80 percent will probably be necessary."

Apparently not every expert shares the

fact that the

vaccines

allegedly have a lower effect

on the

South Africa variant of the corona virus

.

Coronavirus mutations: Hamburg-based infection specialist Marylyn Addo reports vaccine resistance

Infectiologist Marylyn Addo from the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf

said

this Friday (January 29) at the federal press

conference

in Berlin that laboratory tests from the USA would show that previous vaccines were resistant to corona mutations.

Addo even went one step further: “I hope that in six months we will be able to report on completely different things.

What we need is patience and perseverance. "

Meanwhile,

Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU)

affirmed

at the same press conference

that the

coronavirus

and its mutants will possibly accompany people for years

.

It could be that immunity needs to be renewed after five years, "or after twelve months," said Spahn.

Or that the vaccines would have to be modified because of the mutations - Spahn: "Nobody knows that today."
