Vaccine reluctance & General COVID Discussion

[merc81]

@ucbalumnus

There is some research in trying to predict which spike protein mutations can occur that would improve binding to human ACE2, hence giving such a variant an evolutionary advantage; theoretically, a vaccine can include such variants that do not exist yet.

This seems much like the type of research discussed in Nicholas Wade’s May 2nd paper as a speculative source for the origin of SARS–2.
