Doesn't giving a coronavirus vaccine to everyone increase the chances of

Microorganisms don't mutate to "avoid" anything. It's an undirected
process
whereby anything that survives (whether it's antibodies produced by a
vaccine
or an antibacterial such as penicillin) is resistant. Anything that
wasn't
resistant is dead.

I've read that this virus is intelligent, like a motorist spotting a
speedtrap and driving on a different route.

Reality is nothing like that. Viruses cant do that.

So we think now. But we're always discovering new things about nature.
