Bivalent is the one combined with Flu. Apparently people stopped taking the Flu vaccine because it was combined with the Covid Vaccine. I guess they are trying to regain the trust in the flu vaccine. So now the went back to two separate vaccines (monovalent).
bivalent did not include the flu, it was the origninal mrna plus omicrom mrna. The new monovalent is targeting a newer strain. Funny thing is according to "them" the strain keeps changing so this jab will target a strain that is fading out, but they claim it will still work on other closely related strains.
And from everything I've read, when a virus mutates, it weakens each time it mutates. Is this accurate?
I have read the same thing. I believe it to be very accurate. A virus mutates in order to survive, it it becomes more deadly it kills its host and dies with it. So the viru becomes more infectious, but less dangerous each mutation.
Effective viruses kill their host and therefore cease to spread.
That's how normal viruses work: a really deadly virus will "burn out" and not spread as much if it kills infectees fast so those strains tend to die out while those that make your mildly sick spread more and further and keep going. This is also probably how we have old virus DNA as parts of own, it eventually adapted to become some sort of symbiont that caused no symptoms.
That's how it normally works.
it works like that in general, but it's not a given. Viruses generally become less deadly as explained, yes, but there is nothing stopping a random mutation from occurring making it more deadly. It would, however, be less likely to spread as it would kill the host before it could become as widespread as a less lethal virus.
