OT: Vaccine causes virus mutations?
Doesn't giving a coronavirus vaccine to everyone increase the chances of the virus mutating to avoid the vaccine? So we should be using it sparingly.

Doesn't giving a coronavirus vaccine to everyone increase the chances of the virus mutating to avoid the vaccine? So we should be using it sparingly. Look up terms like "evolutionary pressure" and "genetic drift". Whether humans developed "herd immunity" by natural infection, or developed immunity-by-vaccination, the evolutionary pressure is the same. The unsuccessful variants are crushed, only to be replaced by new variants. See "seasonal flu", for an example of a dynamic equilibrium. (Genetic drift there, easily invalidates this years flu shot, when next year rolls around.) The difference between the two scenarios, is a lot more people die in the natural infection case. And the variants still appear, because there are so many "incubation cauldrons" for the natural infection case. There is added misery, because there are no beds for everyone (see India for examples of what that looks like - throwing bodies in the Ganges!). Are you a floater ? Is there a body of water nearby, for your disposal ? These are things to consider with the "natural infection" scenario, like whether you're a floater or not. Others will place bets, on how far out to sea you'll get, before you're eaten. Paul |

Commander Kinsey formulated on Monday :
Doesn't giving a coronavirus vaccine to everyone increase the chances of the virus mutating to avoid the vaccine? So we should be using it sparingly. Good point actually. I questioned this earlier as I was thinking about in the USA we have basically three vaccines. We have heard about bacteria being resistant due to overuse of antibacterials and antibiotics. This is a little different. The greatest threat is in the unvaccinated population who continue to harbor the virus, there will always be some for one reason or another. The bigger the host population the more the viruses environment shapes the newer generations. Resistance can build. The other point is, vaccinated people can still host the virus and spread it to others, they are just less likely to get the serious disease outcome than the unvaccinated. This is no magic bullet, it is just another common-sense weapon in the battle against the virus. |

Commander Kinsey wrote Doesn't giving a coronavirus vaccine to everyone increase the chances of the virus mutating to avoid the vaccine? So we should be using it sparingly. Good point actually. Nope, shows a complete misunderstanding of how viruses mutate. I questioned this earlier as I was thinking about in the USA we have basically three vaccines. We have heard about bacteria being resistant due to overuse of antibacterials and antibiotics. This is a little different. Completely different in fact. Antibiotics kill bacteria and are not always 100% successful, and that's what produces resistance. Vaccination stops infection and so the virus doesn't get to mutate in that individual. The greatest threat is in the unvaccinated population who continue to harbor the virus, there will always be some for one reason or another. Not necessarily, we eliminated smallpox from the wild by vaccination. And havent quite done that yet with polio because a few countrys refused to vaccinate. The bigger the host population the more the viruses environment shapes the newer generations. Resistance can build. Not in those who don't get infected because they have been vaccinated and the more that have been vaccinated, the fewer infected people there are for the virus to mutate in. The other point is, vaccinated people can still host the virus and spread it to others, Yes, but far fewer of those do that than the unvaccinated. they are just less likely to get the serious disease outcome than the unvaccinated. That's just plain wrong. Vaccination dramatically reduces the chance of being infected at all. This is no magic bullet, Vaccination has in fact been just that with smallpox and quite a few other viruses too. It hasn't been with influenza and the common cold because they mutate much faster than most viruses. it is just another common-sense weapon in the battle against the virus. It is in fact by far the most effective weapon against the virus apart from isolation which isnt practical for most people. |
