And I'd add - probably reinfections, possibly asymptomatic driving E484K.

Heh - was just talking to Joel and he pointed me to this clip. Listen to the first 45 seconds - you might remember thescene... I admit I always hated this particular scene and thought it was stupid, but now I have to heat my hat and give Butt Lesion some credit...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVri50TXUqU

Remember that cluster possibly from Uganda with 681R and 613H? Now spreading in UK and has some with 484K. What is happening?

@Andrew Rambaut I have to say that if immune selection has driven the appearance of Erik in Amazonia that does make me a bit more worried about the UK dosing strategy.

Great... I guess that's probably separate to the study on Virological. I'm leaning towards E484K being able to escape immunity by now - maybe not in all cases, but at least in some.
