UK: Lambda mutant strain may not become a major epidemic mutant strain like Delta variant

UK: Lambda mutant strain may become a major epidemic mutant strain like Delta variant. On August 6, 2021, a set of data released by Public Health England (PHE) is very important. The data points out:

1. Two doses of vaccination have 79% protection against symptomatic infections (VE) caused by Delta and 96% against hospitalization.

2. Once a delta breakthrough infection occurs after vaccination, the viral load of the breakthrough infection is equivalent to that of the non-vaccinated person, which is consistent with the results of the Singapore study. The Singapore study pointed out that the viral load of vaccinators decreased faster.

3. GISAID data points out that Lambda mutant strains (Peruvian mutant strain C.37, G75V/T76I/Δ246-252/L452Q/F490S/D614G/T859N) are gradually decreasing, and Lambda mutant strains may not compete with Delta to become the main epidemic mutant strain. .
