Study claims disparate impacts of certain “variants” on distinct population groups. One of those groups they studied was Jewish people. They studied “binding affinity” of the spike protein to ACE2 in human body. IOW, they’re looking at how likely a variant of the virus will attach and infect a specific population.
ELI don't know shit about molecular biology?

So does this make them more or less likely to be infected?
That’s not really a question covered by this, but the implication is “maybe yes”:
“ All the mutations except K341R induced an increase in the van der Waals attractions between the ACE2 and the SARS-CoV-2“.
Again this was used bullshit canned data used on a free software suite.
Trying to read that made me face how dumb I am.
actually reading your comment made me feel better.
