    @Kristian Andersen It is like a really pure constellation.

    @Kristian Andersen Agreed. We have started seeing a lot of B.1, so we'll be on the lookout.

    That Sputnik V stuff is crazy AF. I wonder if the Ad26 is competent too? Ad5 is pretty prevalent, so while certainly aproblem, less so. Ad26 on the other hand...

    Do you think Russia are just going for the win on number of vaccinations?
  9. 2021-04-28 07:45 Kristian G. Andersen open
    Clearly. It's going to be hard to track, although they could have created an epitope for MADE-IN-RUSSIA so we can keep tally via ELISA.
