Prof. Giuseppe Pezzotti's team at Japan's Kansai Medical University discovered that Raman spectroscopy can distinguish 20 SARS-CoV-2 variants by detecting unique molecular fingerprints in their RNA, called "Raman barcodes". This could enable rapid variant screening without full genetic sequencing.

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

A new preprint suggests SARS-CoV-2 has evolved to become harder for our immune systems to recognise. Researchers found that newer variants, including XBB.1.5 and KP.2, are less easily recognised by immune cells that detect new threats. KP.2 was recognised 3 times less often than the original strain.

This evolution has been strongly driven by pressure to escape neutralizing antibodies, which...
