When the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced Friday that the more contagious strain of the coronavirus, B.1.1.7., Would become the dominant strain in the U.S. in March, Americans began to worry. But according to Anthony Fauci, MD, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the British variant is not necessarily the new coronavirus strain we should be concerned about. During an interview on NBCs Meet the press On Sunday, January 17, Fauci told Chuck Todd“People need to realize that there is more than one mutant tribe. There is one from the United Kingdom that is essentially dominated. This is the one that is actually seen in the United States.” Currently, the British tribe has been identified in 30 percent of the states in the US, but this is not the variant that worries him. Even though they have yet to be identified in the States, ‘there is another more ominous [strain] it is in South Africa and Brazil, “Fauci told Todd.” We all look at them very carefully. He explained: ‘You do not want people to panic. But you have to look at it from certain points of view. ‘Read on to find out about the strains that disrupt Fauci, and as far as the B.1.1.7. variant is concerned, check out The UK COVID Strain Is Now in These 15 States.
Public health officials were concerned about the British variant because it is more transmissible than the current dominant COVID-19 strain in the US, which spreads more easily to 50 per cent. However, the B.1.351 strain that originated in South Africa could be a bigger problem. British Health Secretary Matt Hancock told ITV News earlier this month that the South African variant “looks even easier to broadcast than the new variant we saw here” [in the U.K.]. “He added that it would be ‘more difficult to handle than the British variant.’
The Brazilian variant, known as P.1, is similar to the South African variant and they have experts who are concerned for the same reason. Both have a large number of mutations in the vein protein, this is where the virus enters cells in the body and where vaccines and treatments are targeted, CNBC shows.

The British tribe may no longer cause serious illness, but it will still lead to more deaths.
Fauci and other medical experts have explained that the British tribe no longer causes serious illnesses, but that does not mean that the toll is not worrying. “The British have made it very clear that it is more contagious. They say it is no longer virulent. But you know, we have to be careful, because the more cases you get, even though it is on a one-to-one basis. is it no longer virulent, which means it does not make you sicker or more likely to die, just by numbers alone the more cases you have, the more hospitalizations you are going to have.And the more hospitalizations you have, the more you are going to have more deaths, “Fauci explained.

The most important question is what effect the new strains have on COVID vaccines.
While Pfizer, one of the companies that manufactures COVID vaccines, found that their shots are effective against the B.1.1.7. variant, the other strains are more of a problem. John Bell, a professor who led the development of the vaccine from the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca, told Times Radio that there is a ‘big question mark’ over whether the vaccines work against the South African variant or not. The reason why this strain can make the vaccine less effective is because the South African strain mutated the vein protein. The South African variant is’ no single mutation … and the mutations associated with the South African form are really reasonable changes in the structure of the protein (virus), ‘Bell said.
In an interview with CBS News recently, Shabir Madhi, PhD, who led the Oxford University-AstraZeneca vaccine trials in South Africa, explained: “It is not obvious that the vaccine will not work on this variant, but it is a consideration that the vaccine may not be the full has no effectiveness. “
“The thing we really want to look at is that the mutation reduces the impact of the vaccine?” Said Fauci Meet the press. “And if that does happen, Chuck, then we’ll have to make some changes. But there’s everything left. We’re really looking into it.”
In an interview with Axios on January 7, Fauci earlier discussed the possibility of the new strains affecting the vaccine. “If it does not affect the vaccine, it is fine. If you do, you will need to adjust the vaccine to circumvent the changes that occur in the mutations,” he explained.

To stay safe from the new tribes, you need to follow social health measures.
The same social health measures that protect you from the current dominant tribe and the British tribe will also protect you from the South African and Brazilian variants. “If you have a variant that is really, very, very different in the sense that it’s more contagious, it says you need to do two things: 1) Double the public health measures we’ve been talking about all along. Be very compelling, like the Elected President says, wear at least the first 100 days and maybe more, all wearing a mask, keep your distance, avoid the compositions, “Fauci said. Meet the press. And to avoid the face masks, check out The CDC Warns Against Using This 6 Face Masks.
And you also need to be vaccinated.
In addition to masking, hand washing and social distance, Fauci says the best thing you can do for yourself is get vaccinated. “The easiest way to evade this negative effect of these new isolates is to … only when the vaccine is available, people should be vaccinated,” he told Todd. Meet the press. “Young man, if ever there was a call for people to put the hesitant vaccine aside …”
Fauci said: “If we can get the vast majority of the population vaccinated, we will be in a very good condition and can even beat the mutant.” And for some tips on how to do it safely, know that if you are using this OTC medicine, you need to stop before getting the vaccine.
