DISINFO: Vaccines are not effective against new strains
SUMMARY
Everyone is shocked: Vaccines are not effective against new strains of COVID-19.
RESPONSE
A misleading title. Director-General of World Health Organisation, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, to whom the news refers, did not claim that the vaccines were not effective against the new strains of coronavirus. He said: “Variants are currently winning the race against vaccines because of inequitable vaccine production and distribution… It didn’t have to be this way and it doesn’t have to be this way going forward.”
It does not mean that the vaccines are not effective against the new strains. Numerous research presents data that proves that the vaccines are effective against the new strains.
