Good News About CoVid BA.2.86

Dr. Howard Smith Reports
  • 8 months ago


From Boston and New York City come optimistic reports about the latest CoVid subvariant BA.2.86, nicknamed Pirola.

Harvard Beth Israel Deaconess virologist Dr. Dan Barouch reports that the blood from 66 Americans with CoVid immunity from monovalent vaccines, bivalent boosters, or recent CoVid XBB infections could effectively neutralize BA.2.86 pseudovirus test microbes as well as other circulating and legacy CoVid variants.

Meanwhile, NY City’s Columbia University virologist Dr. David Ho demonstrated similar results adding that the blood samples from those who experienced a recent XBB infection were most lethal to the BA.2.86subvariant.

That’s good news since both the Moderna and Pfizer booster vaccines, planned for distribution later this month, code for XBB antigens. They are arriving just in time, as the immunity we gleaned from last January’s bivalent boosters is now wearing out. Be sure to get your CoVid boosts as soon as they are available.
