B.1.351 (the "South African" strain) is very likely to be as contagious as B.1.1.7 (the "UK" strain), with some early research even suggesting it could be more so. Vaccines and antibody treatments also seem to be slightly less effective against it.

P.1 (the "Brazil" strain) is the most worrying of all, though. Basically all of the above but even more so.

It's not. They still want you to be afraid. All viruses mutate.

Sort of, but resistant in this instance doesn't mean ineffective, early evidence has suggested that they won't be as effective. Some people believe the vaccines will still be above that 50% threshold, though that isn't a certainty, but 50% is a far cry from the results we were seeing with the other stands. It sounds like for now it could just be a blip, something extra needs to be boosted in the current vaccines which I guess is suppose to be entirely possible, but I haven't read enough. I did read that some of the future vaccines like the Johnson and Johnson one may be more effective.

Either way vaccines are needed regardless of the effectiveness with the new strands since less infections means less ways for the virus to mutate into something vaccine resistant.

Wasn't it already accepted that the original COVID-19 was contagious as hell without preventative measures taken? How much more contagious can these new variants be? Do we have a new COVID that can drill through masks or something?

IIRC, there are subtle changes on the surface of the virus that cause water droplets to break up more or evaporate faster or somesuch, which results in smaller bits of water containing virus in the air, which allows the virus to stay floating in the air longer so that it has more opportunity to get sucked into a new host.
