The vaccines only slow down transmissions for 3 months, so the antivaxxers are asking why should they get a vaccine? They have a point, except they are overloading our hospitals are burning the staff out, but also, mutations are more likely to occur in the unvaccinated.
Anyway, some antivaxxers are now tweeting the research below, which shows that in a society where a large amount of people are vaccinated, but where not everyone is, mutations are more likely to occur, so they are blaming the the high amount of vaccination for the mutations, but they haven't read the research properly, because the scientists are recommending that everyone should get vaccinated to reduce mutations.
The new model underscores the risk of letting SARS-CoV-2 spread unabated, particularly when a large fraction of people — but not everyone — is vaccinated. That said, the model doesn't perfectly match reality, and we're still contending with big unknowns, Kondrashov said.
The best way to snuff out vaccine-resistant mutants before they spread is to get shots in arms as quickly as possible, while also keeping viral transmission low, the authors found; in their model, they assume low transmission rates reflect the adoption of behavioral measures like masking and social distancing.
Vaccine-resistant coronavirus 'mutants' are more likely when transmission is high, new model finds
The crazy world of arguing with antivaxxers and climate change.

ReplyDeleteThe only way to shut a conspiracy theorist up is to ‘out conspiracy’ them says a correspondent to the Sydney Morning Herald. The response to a conspiracy theorist who claims the moon landing was a hoax “is to say ‘oh, I see. You’re one of those people who believe the moon is real!”
