There has been a variant that uses something other than the spike protein to enter the cell?


The delta variant has changes to the spike protein. And it’s been demonstrated that infected vaccinated people have just as much virus in their body as unvaccinated.

This means they are just as likely to pass the virus on to others. However they are statistically less likely to die from it. There are a lot of problems with the data.

Needless to say there isn’t much reason to get the vaccine now if you haven’t already.

Edit: I say this because treatment for COVID has improved dramatically since the beginning of the pandemic.

It has one change that I recall. A proline to arginine in the furin binding site. It’s still a highly conserved sequence (I mean only the glycoproteins S sequence). The mRNA design was purposeful, although I would argue that adding one more site among the sites that are highly conserved might have been the best strategy. Given the rates of hospitalization, it’s hard to argue that the mRNA vaccines aren’t having an effect.
