Because, KSKnucklehead. If we don't get this plague under control it will keep mutating and get harder to kill. We already jumped from Delta to Omicrom. It's going to mutate faster and get stronger. We won't just be killing off the Trumpheads too ignorant to take the vaccine. It will kill all the people. And Earth will be a Nature's Paradise. Nevermind. Blather away
In the history of virus mutations, an extremely deadly virus doesn’t do well in the wild because it kills the host before transmission can occur. Viruses seem to have a survival instinct. These deadly viruses mutate to become easier to transmit but less deadly. Not saying a mutation can’t “get strongerâ€. But if stronger means deadlier, that’s usually not the case. Some pathogens like bacteria become resistant to antibiotics. That’s a similar mutation but not quite the same.
Building up the body’s natural immune system is still the best course of action. It’s a crime that the government hasn’t published guidelines for a daily regimen of vitamins and minerals to boost the immune system. They absolutely know the safety record for things like Vitamin C, D, zinc, magnesium and quercetin as well as mushrooms like agarikon and Turkey Tail.
I’m hoping that this omnicron variant is such a mutation. It seems to be a much milder variant. Herd immunity might be right around the corner.
