The Mu CORONAVIRUS strain can bypass antibody defenses, Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to the president of the United States , said in an interview with CBS.
“When we say we're watching the Mu variant, we want to make sure it doesn't become dominant. We don't really know what the consequences might be. The concern is that it has a set of mutations that suggests the ability to bypass protection against certain antibodies, ”said Fauci.
Popova admitted the existence of an "infinite set" of strains of covid-19 Society
According to him, while the US authorities do not have enough data to talk about the effectiveness of American vaccines against this strain. At the same time, Fauci clarified that the amount of antibodies that drugs registered in the country give should be enough to neutralize any variant of the coronavirus for which tests were carried out.
He added that although the medical community is taking the Mu strain seriously, it is not the most pressing threat right now.
