A person has been vaccinated and antibodies are ready to work.
HYPOTHESIS
Let's say that this person comes into transmitted contact with someone carrying the SA variant and that the vaccinated person is now a carrier further spreading the virus.
Now, the carried virus is doing battle with the antibodies and mutates in a manner that can defeat the antibodies.
Is that right? If so, we are right up shit creek if the Guvmin doesn't curtail international arrivals.

There is a period between picking up the virus and becoming infectious. It is within that period that the immune system should deal with it, so the person never becomes infectious and is unable to spread it.
Transference by surface contacts is another matter.
