Diversity is a strength and enriches us. But does that apply to viral diversity as well? The new Covid kid on the block, the C.1.2 strain from diverse South Africa, has a mutation rate of 41.8 mutations per year, which is almost double the current global mutation rate seen in any other variant. Not a lot is known, especially whether it is worse than the Delta strain, but the scientists are proclaiming that three jabs will be needed to deal with it. As I see it, that is pure speculation. I note the remarks of Dr Feigl-Ding, quoted below: “‘We can't just keep boosting the vaccines,' 'We have to basically stop the transmission worldwide because the more bodies we give the virus, the more practice chances the virus will eventually adapt and become even more evasive or contagious.'” Or, I believe, live with it, and let natural immunity work its magic, which got the human race this far.
