Named VUI-202012/01, this new mutation of the coronavirus is believed to be more infectious than COVID-19, but there is no evidence that s it more deadly than COVID-19. Some good news. One is that it doesnât look like thereâs any effect of these mutations on how effective the vaccine will be, said Dr. David Engelthaler, Director of Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGEN) North in Flagstaff. One of the mutations seems to make the spike protein fit into cell receptors easier. Itâs kind of like a better key fitting into a lock. So that makes the virus get in faster, replicate faster and then potentially transmit faster.
