What do you mean, the virus mutates?
American Thinker ^ | 30 Jul, 2021 | William Dodd

Billions of dollars may have been wasted on vaccines if what the CDC is spinning now is even half-true.

In a press conference on July 28, 2021, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, stated that "[t]he big concern is the next variant that might emerge, just a few mutations potentially away, could potentially evade our vaccines."

For Walensky to say the CDC has a "big concern" that the COVID virus might be a few mutations away from being a version that is not susceptible to vaccines is likely a de facto admission that such mutations already exist.

This could explain the reason for the CDC's sudden shift in its recommendation that widespread use of masks should be reinstated. But beyond the mask policy change, there is a much more significant indication here. If we are now dealing with a version of the original COVID virus that cannot be rendered benign or killed by vaccines, then there are two significant conclusions:

– The resurgence of virus cases is not due to the unvaccinated as the politicians would like us to believe; the unvaccinated made the correct choice in avoiding inoculation. The new cases are from a virus mutation that has been caused by the DNA/mRNA-based vaccines. A vaccine forces a virus to mutate in order for the virus to survive — remember from Darwin's evolutionary theory, "survival of the fittest."

– Mandating use of the current vaccines on the market or any future untested vaccines should cease immediately. First, the vaccines now being distributed are likely ineffective in dealing with the current mutated viruses, and second, these vaccines are causing the ongoing mutations of the original COVID virus.

Because the vaccines are the only way mankind can win the game.

You can have my jab(s).

Doo-Dah, finally! “ A vaccine forces a virus to mutate in order for the virus to survive — remember from Darwin’s evolutionary theory, “survival of the fittest.”
Yes, but keep in mind that the successive mutations are less lethal — since if they were worse they would have killed the host that bred them.
The virus doesn’t “get anything out of killing its hosts”. First, it ain’t sentient. All it “cares” about (again, inadvertently anthropomorphizing something barely alive) is making more virii. That they don’t kill is of no concern. There is pressure, evolutionary pressure, to produce less lethal variants.

The Indian variant AKA “delta” first appeared in completely unvaccinated India late last year. It is far more infectious than earlier strains but thankfully a little less virulent.

The silver lining is if acquired immunity is as robust as some studies have indicated, maybe the US can finally reach herd immunity with as little loss of life as possible given that 90% of the most vulnerable age group 65+ have at least some immunity between vaccination and prior infection.

Misinformation is not your friend. The idea of escape variants requires an accurate understanding. Does the vaccine cause the variants or do the variants occur independently of the vaccine? The answer is obvious. The variants occur independently. As the Covid virus enters the host, the antibodies primed by the vaccine eliminate the virus they recognize as the target foreign agent. If that foreign agent is not recognized it reproduces in the cell and is passed on to infect other hosts (i.e. both vaccinated and unvaccinated). This is the breakthrough variant that everyone is fearing. If we didn’t have the vaccine, we would still have variations in the reproduced viruses.

Each time a host cell reproduces the Covid virus, thousands of viruses are created. It is not guaranteed that in the the multitude of viruses created, that everyone is identical. Hence, the variant. We see it all the time. A cat will produce a litter of kittens and there will be one black kitten among others of the same color. That black cat was not the result of the cat food mother cat was eating.

“ Misinformation is not your friend.”

And ignorance of evolutionary biology is not your friend. What we are seeing now was very precisely predicted by Dr Bret Weinstein months ago.

Here is a paper looking at the RNA Proofreading enzymes that slow the SARS mutation rate:

https://www.cell.com/molecular-cell/pdf/S1097-2765(20)30518-9.pdf

Yes, it still mutates but at a slower rate than most viruses. It changes at about half the rate of the flu.

I think natural immunity after a COVID infection is likely better at fending of the Delta variant than are the vaccines. It seems most of those getting a bad Delta variant caused illness are (a) those getting a first COVID infection, and (b) some portion of the “vaccinated”. If true, the argument to, in the beginning, (a) massively protect the very vulnerable but (b) allow the rest of the population to get its herd immunity could possibly still have been the better course. To me the main thing is, the main error was, that officialdom never carried out an analysis of how to do (a) and instead sought to “quarantine” everyone with the lockdowns. They killed the economy and prevented the natural spread of herd immunity among the population groups most likely to not have a fatal encounter with COVID.

The other major error was they never considered how best to do “quarantine”, which WAS NOT to send the infected home. THAT right there likely contributed to at least 60% or more of all infections. The government and health care industry needed to have set up quarantine dorms, with minimal medical staff needed, just to assess when and if any in the dorm were acquiring a severe COVID illness needing hospitalization. Meanwhile, while in quarantine, drugs like Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin could have been administered to all in the quarantine dorms.

A large degree of mass fatal illness could have been prevented and faster herd immunity could have been acquired.

Probably my ignorance but....has there ever been a sucessful vaccine against a Coronovirus?

I trust what Dr. Campbell says about covid mutations:

I am always suspicious of anything that is as over hyped as this vax and the virus has been. I am of the opinion that the CDC couldn’t find their own rear-end when it comes to answering a direct question about this virus.

The medical community has effectively destroyed their credibility over COVID.

See Dr. Campbell’s video. I give the link to it in my post #73.
