Mutations in R.1 found in other variants. Those in red are unique to R.1. ACCESS HEALTH INTERNATIONAL

A new variant has been detected in a Kentucky nursing home, infecting 45 residents and health care personnel. Many of these infections arose in fully vaccinated individuals. The variant, which originated in Japan, has over 10,000 entries in the GISAID SARS-CoV-2 database. The variant contains five mutations previously noted in variants of concern or interest, two of which are in the Spike protein (Figure 1). It also contains many unique mutations. Here we describe the potential effects of each mutation on replication, immune evasion, and pathogenesis.
Mutations in R.1 found in other variants. Those in red are unique to R.1. ACCESS HEALTH INTERNATIONAL
The R.1 variant shares a common origin with all variants of interest or concern. They are marked by what I call the Triad, three mutations, one the 5’ untranslated region: C241U, a second in the viral polymerase NSP12: P323L, and the third D614G in the exterior S1 domain of the spike protein. The D614G mutation increases the infectivity. The contribution of the other two members of the Triad remains a mystery. Together these three mutations characterize the first major variant first observed in early 2020. That virus soon displaced almost all of the original Wuhan isolates. The Triad virus is the parent of all variants of concern or, interest including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Lambda, and Mu. Only two currently circulating variants, A.30 and A.23.1, both of East Africa origin, lack the Triad and are most likely independent descendants of the original Wuhan virus.
The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 binds the host ACE2 receptor and initiates infection. The R.1 variant contains three Spike mutations, two of which are previously noted in other variants the other which is unique.

Or not.
There is no science going on.
It is all propaganda targeted at fundamental transformation.
There’s thousands of viruses in the world...this will never end
Wake me up when we get to the R2D2, C3PO or Death Star variant.
Lol!
Sure it does.
Why should this information be accurate or truthful when all the government has done concerning this scamdemic is lie to us?
Hey let’s just keep jabbing people that seems to be a great approach. /s
Remember when Obama was inviting Ebola patients into the US?
R.1 variant a/k/a “The Midterm Variant”
Yup.
The variant contains five mutations previously noted in variants of concern or interest…

R.1. The One Ring mutant.
Maybe, just maybe, the same jab that didn’t work the first time will work this time.
Have any Democrat political leaders died from Covid?
….or maybe the time after that.
I find your lack of faith disturbing...
Quite the devilish little bug that Fauci and the Chinese have cooked up.
My god the world has gone insane. We are regressing rapidly.
Were there any justice in the world, they would have all died from a heavy dose of gamma radiation by now.
They need to rename this R1 crap. We were fine doing Revenge of the Nerds variants previously.
