Let’s debunk some fear-mongering.. “Vaccines themselves promote mutations” says @DrDomPimenta
ON THE CONTRARY.. good vaccines massively slow viral evolution, as explained here by @sarahcobey @mlipsitch @DanLarremore https://www.nature.com/articles/s41577-021-00544-9 https://twitter.com/mdbuckley/status/1386717885020753930
Viruses only mutate when the replicate. Vaccines prevent viruses from getting into new hosts. Even when they don’t completely block infection they tend to limit the replication BY A LOT
In fact, even when vaccine breakthrough infections do happen the vaccinated people tend to produce too little virus to allow the virus to spread between people
FEWER INFECTIONS => FEWER MUTATIONS
Not complicated or hard to understand.
