Well, it's one study. Science is based on a body of research. One study can find anything. We'll see what other studies find.

Still getting my second dose.

Also this: the research has not been peer reviewed.

But among patients who had received two doses of the vaccine, the variants prevalence rate was eight times higher than those unvaccinated - 5.4% versus 0.7%.

Seems worse but like 5% isn't that terrible, right? ....right?

Either way, the study says to caution due to small sample size and the data and research is currently unverified but definitely something to keep in mind.

Oh, so like flu vaccines that need to be updated regularly so that it could protect against new variants.

Cool.

I heard that was a distinct possibility from the beginning. They just don't know what the frequency will be.

I mean that was pretty much always going to be the case.
