If we want to be objective, with the data we have today, we do not know how much worse the micron strain is compared to the three already known coronary strains, said Ioannis Prassas, Doctor of Molecular Biology, University of Toronto, speaking to SKAI.
“But what is of great concern is that we have some serious indications, mainly in terms of the potential that this particular strain has to evade the attention of vaccine antibodies,” he added, noting that the micron strain even seems to do this better than all the rest.
“For the first time we see an executive who has managed to displace in one area the super-transmitter, as we called it, delta,” he stressed.
As he explained so far, we have observed that the coronary mutations, it could be said, belonged to two schools.
The first involved super-transmissible mutations and the second vaccine-resistant mutations.
Based on the above, what worries experts is the observation that the micron mutation is super-contagious and at the same time resistant to the vaccine.
In any case, analyzing the prevailing situation in Greece, the professor stressed that, if we take into account the evidence that the omicron strain is more contagious, if at the moment the transmissibility index is close to 1, it is of national importance to try to drop the transmissibility index well below this number.
“So that we have a small window in case the micron does not come to flood our house even more,” he said.
“It is a collective health crisis,” he added.
