ORLANDO, Fla. – Researchers are now studying a new COVID-19 variant recently discovered in a person in Texas.
“It’s not the Brazil variant, it’s not any of the other variants that people have heard of. It’s in a different spot and we don’t want this to slip under the radar and go undetected,” Ben Neuman, chief virologist at the Global Health Research Complex at Texas A&M said. “We’re trying to be an early warning system and pick up these things before they become a problem. What we found were three interesting mutants and I think the most interesting of these is one that we call the BV-1.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration are leaning toward resuming use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine with a warning about blood clots, sources told CBS News. A decision is expected Friday, more than a week after the vaccine s distribution was paused following reports of rare but dangerous blood clots in eight people under the age of 50. I think too many people may be scared off by taking the vaccine. They shouldn t be, but perception is everything when it comes to vaccines, said Dr. Peter Hotez, who works at the Texas Children s Hospital Center for Vaccine Development.
