Variant Urgency

The virus has two advantages. First, it’s designed to infect as many living beings as possible. That’s how it regenerates itself. If it runs out of bodies to infect, the virus will cease to exist.

Secondly, it mutates very quickly. It mutates for the purpose of being more effective in its mission, i.e. more infectious.

When a mutations is more infectious, it spreads more quickly through the population. The most infectious strains dominate by infecting more beings than the less infectious versions.

New variants are being formed all the time, and that will keep happening until almost EVERYONE is vaccinated. If you had Covid-19 and recovered, I’m glad that you survived, but you may have contributed a new variant in the process.

Existing variants are more dangerous to children and young adults. Vaccines are not as effective at preventing infection by variant strains. Future variants will be even more resistant.

The only was to stop this diabolical scourge is to get as many people vaccinated as possible. It doesn’t matter if you feel fine or if you’ve already had the virus. 

The virus has a mission to infect as many people as possible. We need to make stopping it our mission, because left to its own devices, it’s only going to become a more serious problem.
