Breakthrough Covid 19 cases are occurring in the vaccinated.The Delta and especially the Lambda variant seem to producing breakthrough infections at a higher rate.

The more resistent Lambda variant is now in USA.It has 7 spike protein mutations. A new Gamma variant is reported in Chile with 11 mutations of the spike protein.

It is becoming apparent the Covid 19 is going to mutate frequently.The mutations change the Spike proteins which are the part of the virus vaccines, monoclonal antibodies and convalescent serum attack rendering the treatments less effective.

Therapeutics, like Brilacidin, will be invaluable in treating future Covid19.

The newest Israeli study shows lots less efficacy for the delta strain:

I know, just one study, but there none the less.
