The SARS-CoV-2 virus binds to and enters human cells using its “spike protein”. Vaccines are designed to generate antibodies that bind to the virus’s spike protein and interfere with its ability to infect our cells. Some of the emerging mutations being found in coronavirus variants result in slightly different shaped “spikes”.
Previous laboratory studies have found that the antibodies generated either by vaccines or in people who have previously had COVID infections do not bind as tightly to the spikes on some coronavirus variants, and therefore are less effective at neutralizing the variant viruses. Prior to this study, it was not known if this reduction in binding affinity and neutralization would also reduce the effectiveness of vaccines in real-world use.GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE SIGN UP FOR GOLOCAL FREE DAILY EBLAST

A new study published Tuesday finds that people who had COVID-19 may be more likely to be diagnosed with a mental health or neurological condition later on.
Another key finding of the study was that the coronavirus may slightly increase the risk of a brain hemorrhage or stroke, especially for those who had severe COVID-19, i.e., they were hospitalized or put in intensive care.
The study by the University of Oxford looked at 236 ,379 patients and found that one in three developed some kind of neurological health condition within six months. Most of the patients reviewed were in the United States.GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE SIGN UP FOR GOLOCAL FREE DAILY EBLAST

Many public health experts including Dr. Michael Fine, Dr. Ashish Jha, and Dr. Rochelle Walensky have warned another COVID surge is upon us, and it’s a race between vaccinations and variants. At least in Rhode Island, it looks like our state’s virus-friendly policies are letting variants pull ahead in this deadly fight.
Rhode Island has consistently had among the five highest infection rates in the country for most of the pandemic and the fourth-highest death rate. Last year those infection levels resulted in extensive safety measures, yet now bring reopenings of bars and indoor dining in restaurants. We are our own worst enemy and continue to shoot ourselves in the foot by letting infection levels stay dangerously high.
