A new study on Israel, whose conclusions were published on July 5 suggest that the vaccine against Pfizer isLess effective for protection Against Covid caused by the variant of the delta that it is against other strains, asWall Street newspaperreports. The data were collected from June 6th in early July, while the country is experiencing a massive hatching of the Delta variant.

According to the Israel Ministry of Health, the Pfizer vaccine was effective 64% against COVID infection in the middle of the countryside induced by the country. The vaccine was previously 94% effective against infection. But even in the middle of the Delta epidemic, the vaccine against Pfizer was always 94% effective to prevent serious illness, 97% before.

These data present themselves at a time when the Delta variant is presumed to cause about 90% of the new COVID infections in Israel, byWSJ. The seven-day average of Covid's global cases in the country reached 300 years on July 6th, while there were only 10 new daily cases in June. Israel has already reimposed its interior mask requirement to try to combat the spread of the Delta variant and the best Israeli leaders must meet to discuss more measurements and restrictions.

Better life Has reached Pfizer on the new discoveries, but has not heard yet. The pharmaceutical companyrefused to comment bothWSJ And Reuters, but Reuters stated that a spokesman for Pfizer has cited other research showing that the antibodies created by his vaccine were still able to neutralize the Delta variant, although the reduced force.

Although they have not identified a particular study, there was research published in early June in the medical newspaper.The lancetwho showed that the recipients of Pfizer hadLess antibodies against the delta variant that other strains of the virus. The study involved 250 participants who received one or two doses of the Pfizer vaccine. Then the researchers used blood tests to measure their antibody levels, comparing the five-strain antibody responses from different COVIDs, including the Delta variant. According to their conclusions, people who were fully vaccinated with Pfizer had long timeLower levels of antibodies against the delta variant Compared to the original Covid strain that the vaccine was aimed at fighting.

The effectiveness of reduced vaccination against the Delta variant could be a concern in the United States, where the variant is now spreading sharply,especially in the Midwest and south. During a Covid press briefing from the White House, July 1st,Rochelle Walensky, MD, the Director of Disease and Prevention Control Centers (CDC), said that about 1 out of 4New COVID cases In the United States were due to the Delta variant. "The Delta variant should be the second most common variant in the United States and I hope that in the coming weeks, it will eclipse the alpha variant," Walensky said at the briefing. "And in some parts of the country, nearly a sequence on two is the variant of Delta."

Moderna has also recently published data showing how its stack vaccineagainst the delta variant. According to a declaration of 29 June of the company, there is a reduction more than double the antibody response against the delta variant. But the Vaccine of Moderna, like the vaccine against Pfizer, always offers sufficient protection, which makes it - with the unique dose Johnson & Johnson - the best option to fight against Covid, even if the variant of Delta takes over.

"Science is clear. The best way to protect against the virus and its variants is to be fully vaccinated", Covid white house advisorAnthony Fauci, MD, said at the press briefing of July 1st. "It works. It's free. It's safe. It's easy."
