“The country’s health authorities fear the new strain could prove to be more resistant against a vaccine. Kåre Mølbak, head of the State Serum Institute, the national authority for the control of infectious diseases, said the strain had mutations on its spike protein, the part of the virus that infects healthy cells.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/05/denmark-lockdown-north-mink-blamed-coronavirus-strain
It’s really 50/50 imho. If this vaccine is legit, August 2021 looks good. But even then things won’t be like they were in 2019. But with COVID-19, has anything “worked out?” Nope. So the jury is still out on this 90% vaccine. I hope the vaccine is good, but when it comes to COVID-19, I’m in “trust but verify” mode.
