Already there's a problem with the South African variant breaking through. Tests are showing that vaccinated people are more susceptible than unvaccinated. It's in peer review now. This is just the beginning.
You might be talking about this Israeli study: https://news.yahoo.com/south-african-variant-break-pfizer-200435213.html
I see another one in peer review that seems to say the SA variant (South African variant, B.1.351) is recognized equally by vacinees and recovered patients:
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.02.27.433180v1.full.pdf "DISCUSSION The present study addresses a key knowledge gap pertaining to the potential of emergent SARS- CoV-2 variants to evade recognition by human immune responses. We focused on T cell responses elicited by either natural infection or vaccination with the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. We found negligible effects on both CD4+ or CD8+ T cell responses to all four variants investigated, to include the B.1.1.7, B.1.351, P.1 and CAL.20C variants found in the UK, South Africa, Brazil and California, respectively."
Now this is an in vitro study, and not measuring disease in actual patients. So the story is complicated, and so we'll leave it to the real (hopefully honest) scientists to make sure the studies are done and interpreted correctly and with minimal bias.
So I just want to add that while I'm NOT advocating for the shot (no way in heck!), if they're trying to tell people to now get a third shot, the study I posted seems to say they don't need it. (Now will start the stuff "oh, it only lasts 3 months, or 6 months....blah blah....")
I usually hold off opinion for a little while, let the media hype settle and the real scientists give an opinion. Then I'll listen. I haven't dug into the South African variant story to figure out if it's real or scare mongering.
