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.

Awesome... I am glad.
Absolutely should remain a choice. However, it seems they are trying to make EVERYONE get the jab which is beyond stupid.
This thing is basically 99% survivable for those under 75.
And 95% for 75 and above.
Crazy times...
Oh no. I’m like scared and stuff. I’m trembling in fear.
I’m going to put on four masks and hide in the closet.
Oh, I forgot to tell you that I believe I got the Wuhie crap in TG ‘19 and consequently the whole family.
I had it real bad…no taste or smell, heavy dry cough, high temp 103°+, very difficult to breath and long headaches.
Nobody knew what this ‘heavy’ flu was at the time. Just few months later I realized that it was the Wuhie flu. I certainly don’t know whether we have antibodies or not and we’re not trying to find out!
The drum beat of Delta…Delta…Lambda…Lambda is getting louder and louder! So is the ‘22 election is drawing nearer and nearer!
H1N1, been with us since 1918
