Coronavirus - Take two - Action!

[Antisthenes]

This makes perfect sense on the face of it. Being a layperson I would want to postulate why in fact do those who have received the influenza vaccination not create a virulent strain of influenza that (based on the noted hypotheses,) should have wiped out humankind by now?.    
     There's an inference that the covid vaccines are different from others when they aren't. Those with an influemza vaccine can and do spread the disease to others as well as getting the disease themselves and to a less severe degree had they not been vaccinated.
    So it begs the question, why is covid different than any of the other myriad of virals that we have managed for a very long period of time? Covid does not exist in a vacuum and reacts like any other virus we have experienced.

Well, here is the fatal flaw in my theory, but also fatal to the official narrative. It was brought to my attention earlier today when I heard a TV Tube Talking Head utter the words that the alleged delta variant was "both more contagious and deadlier".

Here is the problem: viruses can and do undergo mutations in an effort to overcome any countermeasures against them, occasionally becoming more contagious in an effort to overwhelm resistance present in the host through sheer numbers. However, when one becomes more transmittable, it almost invariably become LESS deadly. Viruses are parasitic, and one of the cardinal rules for parasites is to avoid killing your host, because that also kills YOU.

SO - if this alleged 'delta variant" is twice as transmissible, then it should be about half as deadly. Otherwise, it will kill itself into oblivion with that transmissability, and defeat it's own transmission mechanisms that were developed to make it more successful, rather than less. If it kills the host, then it dies out, too, not a successful survival strategy for propagation. If the older forms kill 0.3% of their hosts as the figures indicate, then the new form should not exceed that, and will likely kill even fewer victims.

Influenza does indeed mutate to overcome the vaccinations. That's why people who fear influenza have to get a new shot every fall, to cover for newly developed variants. They are already vaccinated against older variants. New variants, however, generally follow the rule of not killing the host more than the less successful variants that didn't defeat the vaccines.

There is also a rule of thumb that about 10% of any population will have a natural immunity or resistance to a given virus or microbe. For example, I am one of the fortunate ones who have a natural genetic resistance to COVID - that has been tested and confirmed. Not antibodies already present from an infection, but rather genetic code in my DNA that creates the necessary antibodies if it detects certain aspects of the virus. It doesn't make me entirely immune, but it DOES make me far less likely (the doctors said about 83% less likely than average) to contract it, and if I did manage to catch it, the symptoms and effects would be far lower than would be expected, and would not result in a hospitalization... and I would then have pre-made antibodies to combat any further onslaughts. I presume I got that particular DNA instruction set from my mother - she actually caught covid, and is 83 years old, meaning it should have been an automatic death sentence. Instead, she had symptoms of a mild cold for 2 or 3 days, and then it was gone, likely because she already had that same set of instructions in her DNA. I'm told this mutation goes back over 50,000 years (it was found in the one of the Neanderthal segments of my DNA), but few people are lucky enough to have it now - I presume no more than 17% of the population, working from the 83% immunity figure the doctors cited.


So, the human race will not be wiped out in any viral event, but if the virus had it's wicked way - ANY virus - and propagated enough virulence to send itself into oblivion, there would likely be a lot more real estate available for the survivors.

Fascinating information. I had no idea there was a population that had immunity without exposure. I suppose someone needs to rebuild the population. Most species are incredibley adept at survival. We're no different, I suppose. Thank you for the elucidation.
