COVID-19 (artist formerly known as Wuhan strain novel Corona virus)

So, why do you think nobody gets it anymore?

 

Jesus wished it away. Through him all things are possible.

 

Did it mutate in a matter of months?

 

Why do you think it didn’t mutate in a matter of months and nobody gets it anymore?

 

All viruses have the same chance of mutation

 

No idea. Maybe they didn't rush a polio vaccine out and cause more mutations among the 35 people walking around at the time

 

Nope, that’s not it.

Try again.

 

Vaccines don't cause more mutations. How even did that enter your mind

 

Also, vaccines are tested and approved in phases.

There are no specific days, weeks, months or years needed or required to complete testing and approval.

 

Explain what you mean. A mutation has a random chance of occurring each replication. So the more people it is circulating, there are millions to billions more replications occurring on a per case basis. What causes mutation is the volume of people infected, making a low probability event occur more often.

Imagine if it were a 50% (high probability) event, like a coin flip. Are we more likely to get tails to land in 1 coin flip, or 10 coin flips? It is the same principle. The vaccines actually decrease the chance for mutations, not increase it. This is some dark ages ignorant shit, floating around in conversations.

 

This article disagrees. Where did you get your I fo from, dooz?https://www.unitypoint.org/article.aspx?id=db428f77-6e61-497b-91ce-1317a3396dd8

 

That's one of the most bizarre statements from an ID doctor I've ever seen.

"On a per-site level, DNA viruses typically have mutation rates on the order of 10−8 to 10−6 substitutions per nucleotide site per cell infection (s/n/c). RNA viruses, however, have higher mutation rates that range between 10−6 and 10−4" that doesn't change with vaccines

 

If anything, it shows that half-measures of a population getting vaccinated drives those mutations - the ones that show any kind of resistance to vaccines - to become the dominant strain. It doesn't cause more mutations. Because vaccines don't allow the original variants to spread, ergo allowing fewer possibilities of mutations.

 

But vaccines even prevent hospitalization for the new strains so it's still a point in favor of vaccination. So that is really one of the dumbest statements I've ever seen from a "public health expert" and I only took a few college virology courses.

 

Quite a few articles mention the same thing lyls. You asked how on earth I came up with that. Well I read it and didn't say it was a driving force, but obviously people who say vaccines can't cause mutation aren't the experts they try to pretend to be via Google

 

Again, they don't cause mutations. Anyone saying that is wrong.

 

Sounds like your source is saying you are wrong and we are right.

 

Vaccines mutate at a predictable and scientifically proven rate regardless of vaccines. We just see more mutations with half-population vaccines because the virus is still being allowed to spread and the spread allows more time for more mutations. So in some weirdly odd way, I guess she's right.

 

Your own article refutes your claim, my man. Read the words. Natural selection continues, including in an environment with vaccines. Thus, if there is negative selection from a vaccine (or anything) it will enter into selecting useful mutations. Vaccines are not special in that regard.

 

Didn't see that part, so yeah that sums it up easily. Half-measures of vaccinations are the cause of more mutations showing.
