As horrible as it sounds on the surface, there is some logic to trying to let it spread through the vaccinated population and therefore we may start to see the finish line. However it is not without risk, and of course, if we stumbled on the solution by accident, we can't give much credit to our leaders who only got their through dithering and weak leadership.
Of course all it needs to do is find pocket of unvaccinated people, mutate to a more dangerous strain and back to square 1 we go.
If it mutates again though, Birdy, isn't it likely to become even weaker?
Depends.
If it mutates in a human with intent to spread in human biological systems, it will likely become less severe.
If it mutates in an animal and targets their immune systems then it could well get worse if it's able to infect human populations after the mutation.
Good point. Thankfully the chances of it spreading to animal, amd back again is actually rare. Hopefully it is humans it mutates in,and then it's more likely to become less dangerous. However not a certainty.
