Abstract

Deep mutational scanning shows that the mRNA-1273 RBD-binding antibody response is less affected by single viral mutations than the infection response.

  • mRNA vaccines have recently been successfully used against COVID-19, validating the platform and showing that mRNA vaccines can prevent infectious diseases in the future.

    “Furthermore, mRNA vaccines have recently been successfully used against COVID-19, validating the platform and showing that mRNA vaccines can prevent infectious diseases in the future (Greaney et al., 2021).”

    The Introduction (page unavailable) says two mRNA COVID-19 vaccines received US emergency-use approval and cites preliminary evidence of substantial protection against infection and severe disease. It does not say that this success validates the mRNA platform or establishes that mRNA vaccines can prevent other infectious diseases in the future. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • L452R has resulted in 3-fold to 10-fold reduced susceptibility to about one third of convalescent and vaccinee plasma samples.

  • The levels of neutralizing mAbs elicited by the mRNA vaccines has been high and in most persons are likely to be maintained for many months above the levels required for protection against even the most resistant circulating variants.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
