Just in case some of you don’t understand how viral evolution works, it’s very simple.
Viruses that kill you too quickly are not passed onto other people. Because when you’re dead and buried, the virus can’t spread to anybody else.
Viruses that don’t kill you quickly are passed on to more people because you are walking around, coughing, sneezing and touching things.
So let’s review. Viruses strains that kill you quickly soon end up 6 feet underground. Being 6 feet underground is an evolutionary dead end for a lethal strain of virus.
Viruses that don’t kill you quickly end up being passed to other people. So viruses that are LESS lethal spread more widely and are able to reproduce.
It doesn’t matter whether the virus “wants” to become more deadly or not, the deadliest strains end up being passed on to fewer people. The less lethal strains end up being passed on to more people.
The only type of virus that spread faster despite being lethal are zombie viruses.
And zombie viruses are not real.
When the delta meme was announced, there were the chicken-little pronouncements of doom and gloom issued immediately.. how infectious it is, how fast it spreads! How it targets children, how it was so much worse than original china virus!
How could these things possibly have been known when the viral variant was first discovered? Surely this would only become evident over a much longer timeframe - a year, 5, 10?
Not a single reporter asked this either. Nor how one was able to determine that this was a new variant - how do they differentiate between china virus and variant? Were there tests for this new variant? how did they come about in time for the variant to be seen in the wild? what prompted tests be made for diseases that didn't exist at the time.. so many questions.
And the lack of any coherent answers (much less so even than with china virus) leads me to think its even more of a contrivance.
