Unvaccinated people are 'variant factories,' infectious diseases expert says
Time ^ | 7/3/2021 | Maggie Fox, CNN

Posted on 07/03/2021 9:35:00 PM PDT by Right Wing Vegan

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.

Viruses that don’t kill their hosts spread more effectively and become dominant otherwise H1N1 would have ended civilization

The enemies of freedom and liberty have clearly war gamed this plandemic out to a great degree or detail.

1. Chinese lockdowns have given the Chicom Government cover to liquidate freedom loving protesters

2. American lockdowns have enabled our Communists to seize power from the people. We will not get it back. Guaranteed

3. Conservatives tend to be small business owners [same as the Kulaks]. These people have been decimated by never ending lockdowns while Global Corporations thrive.

4. Forced vaccines will reveal those loyal to Socialist Governments, and those not.

5. Vaccines render everyone dependent on Government due to immunopathology

6. Vaccine induced ADE will be concealed by never ending “variants” and blamed on unvaccinated.

7. The mockingbird media, big tech, deep state, and medical establishment will make this unquestionable, censoring all whistleblowers

8. Boosters will give the appearance of fighting variants, when the reality is that it masks, or even furthers ADE making people more dependent on Government

9. The elderly will be decimated. As Coronavirus rages among them, other age groups will adopt an “at all costs” approach to the incessant variants, blaming “non-vaxxed” for their ADE.

10. Unvaccinated will be made scapegoats and pariahs.

I’m not a mind numbed robot.

I posted the other day about the freedom to make one’s own decision about vaccination because its not as safe as it should be but its not as dangerous either.

Someone could get killed or hurt through vaccination and many have been hurt or killed by it so far.

Trying to spread propaganda to scare people or herd them into vaccination is not good.

I discussed vaxxing, coronavirus restrictions and other matters on my blog post today...

This is a ‘fricking’ joke. Take your jab and leave folks alone whom are healthy choose not to. It is not even approved for goodness sake.

11. The unvcaccinated will be forced to wear muzzles aka cloth face masks for easy identification.

12. The unvaccinated will be rounded up and given the “choice” of forced vaccination or summary execution.

If you are vaccinated (and if the vaccines actually “work”) you should have nothing to fear from the unwashed unvaccinated.

There is NO natural immunity to Covid rather born with it or from surviving a bout of it?

“the only source of new coronavirus variants is the body of an infected person”

Hmmm, so cull the herd of all unvaccinated critters and the virus will be vanquished? No more sanitizing everything, throwing masks all over the parking lots and obeying signs on the floor in the grocery store? No more looming lock downs? Guess those measures were useless after all.

These people contradict themselves every hour.

Sounds like an excuse to say the vaccine is bullshit.

So tired of the cowardice. Where I live the masks are no longer required indoors but guess what? Many losers are still wearing them. Ridded with fear, I guess. Or is it virtue signalling?

people who use the nearly meaningless term “virtue signaling” are virtue signaling.
