Does COVID have a weak spot? Researchers say they’ve found one that could lead to a universal treatment

strains that could lead to universally effective treatments for those infected with most variants of the virus.

“Knowing that this site exists, that it is largely unchanged across all the variants tells us where we should focus and refine antibody design so we can make a better antibody,” says Sriram Subramaniam, a professor at the UBC faculty of medicine and senior author of the study.The discovery’s applications lay in treatment, he said, rather than in vaccines.The findings are to be published Thursday in the research journal, Nature Communications.

“It’s virtually certain that we will see more mutations as time goes by,” Subramaniam said. “The goal really here is to stay ahead of the virus and identify which parts are least likely to be mutated and zero in there.”

Well, 'they' haven't got anything right in 2 years so doubt this will be any different.
