I never said it was the flu, I simply used the flu as an analogy with regard to the likelihood that the vaccine for COVID will have to be changed periodically...so maybe fuck you...and get back to some reading comprehension.




You can lay out all the statistics you want. I never said it was more or less likely to mutate - only that it will. The bottom line is that all viruses, including coronaviruses, can change over time, and we'll have to continue to adapt in order to manage the mutations.

Y'all want to follow the science, but only the science that fits your narrative.

Again, I'm not a vaccine denier or pusher, anti-vax or pro-vax... You guys are obviously pro-vax and fuck everyone else. That's awesome! You do you!

Anyway, here are a hand full of articles about the mutation of coronaviruses (spoiler alert - viruses will mutate, sometimes despite the creation of vaccines created to treat them).

"The creation of a vaccine for any new virus could also cause additional mutations."

Brother if you're not quoting scientific peer reviewed journals for your science information, you're going to the wrong sources.

"Articles" are not where you should be looking for scientific information.

The one piece you said that made any sense was that the introduction of vaccines can result in mutations of the virus. True - it's like whack-a-mole, beat one variant down with a vaccine, and another will emerge.

The part you're missing though is that variants will also emerge through random mutation, the chances for which increase as the number of infected rise.

I think you're just beyond help with this though. It's not because you're not intelligent enough to understand it, it's because you're too dumb to understand that there's a lot you don't know. Good luck to you, I hope you survive when you come across Delta.
