It is already known that a new type of Coronavirus variant is currently spreading in the UK and that this variant is by far, the most dangerous. Speaking of the variants, Genomics Consortium Scientist Sharon Peacock has said that the variant of Coronavirus found in the UK is the most dangerous and that no vaccine currently in circulation can withstand against the virus.
She said that if this variant is not observed carefully, it might spread to the rest of the world very soon. While the normal strain of Coronavirus has claimed over 20 lakh lives so far, other, more dangerous variants have claimed many other lives.
This variant has been given the number 1.1.7, and Dr. Peacock said that no kind of vaccine would in any way be helpful against this virus. The variant spreading in Bristol is said to be carcinogenic. She said that this is the probable variant in circulation in South Africa and Brazil as well.
Dr. Peacock has also said that a lot more has to be learnt about this variant of Coronavirus and that studies on it are still going on.
