Existing antibodies work against the latest coronavirus variant: CDC

The Centers for Disease Control issued a statement that reversed its previous assessment regarding the most recent COVID-19 variant.
Currently, the latest variant, referred to as BA.2.86, is combated by already-known antibodies, per research from multiple labs examined by the CDC. The announcement was issued Friday.
Initially, the CDC released a risk assessment that warned the variant could be "more capable of causing infection in people who have previously had COVID-19 or who have received COVID-19 vaccines." As of Friday morning, cases with the variant were found in Colorado, Delaware, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington.
"CDC and other experts are reassured by these research findings that support the effectiveness of this type of immunity against this variant," its latest statement read. "Additionally, based on CDC’s experience with past SARS-CoV-2 variants, people will likely have protection against severe disease mediated by both cellular and antibody immunity."

1. Antibodies do not, unless by fortunate timing, prevent the start of infection. But they do fight against and mitigate/defeat infections in early stages.
2. More to the point of the OP article, once again, the CDC cried wolf before having actual test data.

Never ever trust the WHO and take caution with anything the CDC recommends. They have earned our distrust

Gee, it's almost as though the CDC were clueless - or just dishonest.

Exactly.
And that's the big risk and worry right now. What if a truly deadly and high mortality pathogen attacks. These Chicken Little f'ers might doom us.

Use your own judgement. Ultimately, you are responsible for your health, up to and including firing doctors who can't/won't do the job.

Crying wolf has consequences.

🤣 The CDC backflipped on their scare campaign against the latest COVID variant. The fallout must have been so epic it destroyed their will to politicize the virus for election-theft purposes. Stick to your guns, people. “Existing antibodies work”: CDC
