Japanese scientists have also recently announced their latest findings regarding the Lambda variant, which first appeared in Peru and is spreading across Latin America. According to them, the Lambda variant shows a faster transmission capability than scientists predicted and particularly has concerning vaccine resistance.
The Japanese scientists discovered three mutations in the Lambda protein that counteract the neutralization of antibodies produced by vaccines. These scientists warned that the Lambda variant being labeled by the World Health Organization as “Variant of Interest” instead of “Variant of Concern” has led the world to overlook the potential dangers that are unfolding.
