find BA.2.75.2 Much more resistant than other Omicron strains, in people who have received 3 Coronavac injections, as well as people who have been vaccinated with different strains.
Additionally, looking at the cell’s binding capacity to ACE2 receptors, BA.2.75.2, along with other Omicron subspecies found today, was more binding to the ACE2 receptor than the D614G strain (which used to cause second wave of cases around the world from late 2020 to early 2021).
