Well, that's a nice surprise!
What happens if you have had COVID infection before and you get a COVID vaccine?

Some observations last week are summarized here: https://twitter.com/profshanecrotty/status/1356623349862989827?s=20
In a new pre-print by the excellent @McGuire_Lab , they report a big jump in neutralizing antibodies after a single COVID RNA vaccine immunization (Pfizer or Moderna).
That is the same thing observed by @florian_krammer and the Sajadi labs. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.02.05.21251182v1

But, they also find that the immunized people now also make excellent neutralizing antibody responses to the South Africa variant! (B1351)
A massive jump in neutralizing antibodies.

First evidence that an immunization can elicit high neutralizing antibodies against the SA variant (B1351). I.e., the variant is not invisible to good human antibodies.
