Unvaccinated people do more than merely risk their own health. They're also a risk to everyone if they become infected with coronavirus, infectious disease specialists say. That's because the only source of new coronavirus variants is the body of an infected person. "Unvaccinated people are potential variant factories," Dr. William Schaffner, a professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, told CNN Friday.
"The more unvaccinated people there are, the more opportunities for the virus to multiply," Schaffner said.
When it does, it mutates, and it could throw off a variant mutation that is even more serious down the road."
All viruses mutate, and while the coronavirus is not particularly mutation-prone, it does change and evolve. Most of the changes mean nothing to the virus, and some can weaken it. But sometimes, a virus develops a random mutation that gives it an advantage -- better transmissibility, for instance, or more efficient replication, or an ability to infect a great diversity of hosts.
Viruses with an advantage will outcompete other viruses, and will eventually make up the majority of virus particles infecting someone. If that infected person passes the virus to someone else, they'll be passing along the mutant version.

Yes, they should have. 2nd Order consequences are unknown, though we discover more every day.
80% of the population of the world has immunity - or either completely, or their immunity is perfected by exposure to the actual virus. This builds herd immunity.
Of the remaining 20% (and likely less), covid kills the old and frail and fat - average age over 78. It pushes them over the edge like flu, where they succumb to their preexisting morbidities.
These people should have been isolated from the beginning, along with the obese, who have low plasa vitamin D levels.
Everyone else should have gone on with their lives, supplementing with D, Zinc, Quercetin.
Up here in CT not a single chain retail sites enforces masks anymore. Some have a big sign out front along with pre-recorder PA messages encouraging people to wear one “for everyone’s safety” but the second the mandate was lifted at least half stopped and by now maybe 1% still wears a mask.
Most other stores just removed all the signage or have a tiny letter size or smaller sign in the window.
Welcome to FR.
What was your previous handle?
Vax troll, much?
10. Unvaccinated will be made scapegoats and pariahs.
Just look who is even posting this nonsense ‘blame’, here on FR.
Telling.
Btw....it’s the vaxxed causing the variants, most likely.
That’s a clear reply, if ever there was one :-)
Tell it!
You may compartmentalize whatever frustrations you may have had with other users. I am new, and not one of them.
Vax troll, much?
The claims mentioned in the article are worthy of commentary, and judging by the over 160 replies, others agree. I don't endorse the claims per se, and in fact lean anti-vax.
Welcome to FR. Thank you.
The only source of variants is infected people.
True, the only way the virus mutates itself to irrelevance is infected people.
The dishonest commenter knows cynically that the public will assume all variants are bad.
Correction: he damns mutation with faint praise. He still implies that the occasional “advantageous” mutation is a big deal. It.is.not. Do the math.
Their creepy and their kooky
Mysterious and spooky
Their all together ooky
The Variant Factories
Was I talking to you?
“That research has been done by people who know the science.”
The fact is that for every person YOU believe to “know ‘THE science’”, there’s another ACTUAL scientist who believes the opposite. P.S. Only libs spew the “the science” phrase. Do you check in daily for staff meetings with The Fauci?
“What if the vaccine was given to you in the conventional form like they use for the measles virus? Would you take it?”
Not if it hadn’t been tested 8-15 years, which is industry standard, AND been approved by the FDC. As of today, neither of those is “a thing”. So ... no.
“I think those who are wearing a mask in their car may be on their way to pick someone up and don’t want to release any potential COVID droplets that might infect them.”
LOL!
So scary.
You omitted the flux capacitor.
“14. Forced to live in separate enclaves...”
Hmmm... considering the low IQs of the Shot Sheep, living in a separate enclave doesn’t sound so bad.
“If the Americans of 1775-1783 had the same ill informed mindset as so many of these cowardly, ignorant, and easily herded people of today, we would be still hailing The Crown as our Master.”
This was alluded to by our pastor in church today.
One more divisive classification from CNN:
The vaxxed vs the unvaxxed!
What’s next?
Boo!
So scary.
