Republican Glenn Youngkin now holds a clear lead over Democrat Terry McAuliffe in the Virginia gubernatorial race with five days to go before Election Day, according to a just-released poll.

The Fox News survey showed Youngkin leading McAuliffe by eight percentage points (53-45) among likely voters, with just 2 percent supporting other candidates or undecided.

That represents a dramatic turnaround from just two weeks ago, when the same poll showed McAuliffe with 51 percent support among likely voters, 46 percent supporting Youngkin and 3 percent undecided or supporting other candidates.

Youngkin also leads McAuliffe by a single percentage point (48-47) among all registered voters — a 12-point turnaround from two weeks earlier, when McAuliffe held a 52-41 advantage among registered voters.

A recently published study by Dutch and German experts with the unwieldy title "The BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 reprograms both adaptive and innate immune responses" caused quite a stir.

The crucial sentence from the abstract, the implications of which are not yet even foreseeable, reads, "In summary, the mRNA-BNT162b2 vaccine induces complex functional reprogramming of innate immune responses, which should be considered in the development and application of this new vaccine class."
