@Chelseachemist1 @tujeshynroman @PoliticsForAlI That’s not what nature says https://t.co/KEDUAcCwyD
@RonaldA16957298 @Jonathan_K_Cook There's no evidence that viruses mutate to become more deadly - they'd kill their hosts. No hosts - no spread. A sense of perspective is needed here. https://t.co/oGYvLoM9eI
@ScaryRebelBat @Loopylooness69 something less lethal anyway; the current one being a case in point, and if it looks as mild as it appears, we should definitely let it run riot in an unvaxxed population as much as poss. One think for sure, is it goes agains
@Lianne150652568 @KrisKo84pl @paulgiv @MaryRiddell Mass infection does not equal more deaths and hospitalisations. Mutations that increase transmission in most cases reduce a viruses potency. Hospitalisations and deaths are stable. https://t.co/cLPQjoFOwM

"Virulence will change if it increases the transmission rate of the virus, which effectively means an increase in the number of virus ‘offspring’. However, high virulence may reduce transmissibility (not always) if the host is too sick to expose others." h

@Mukondli @WoganMay I’m not a virologist but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t. Virus’s are mutating machines - it’s all they do so they can be spread. Cool article on Nature; https://t.co/yILMeZKB3K
@ForestDLG I understand that, which is why you should find source material. I suggest you read all the links in the fact check article. I don't agree you can simply say there's a trade-off. I think you'll particularly like this article, but read 'em all!
