Nothing to worry about yet, as breakthrough infections do happen. But 37 in the same building seems … noteworthy, given how rare infections among vaccinated people are. It raises an obvious possibility: Is India’s “double mutant” variant more capable of evading vaccine protection than other variants known to science?
And does that explain why India is having the most savage outbreak of any country since the pandemic began 14 months ago?
Some Indian experts are convinced that there’s something qualitatively different about the wave they’re experiencing, not just quantitatively different. “It’s affecting young adults. It’s affecting families. It’s a new thing altogether. Two-month-old babies are getting infected,” said one doctor to the Times.

The infections left most with mild symptoms, but it added to their growing fears that the virus behind Indiaâs catastrophic second wave is different. They wonder if a more contagious variant that dodges the immune system could be fueling the epidemic inside the worldâs hardest-hit nation.
