I don't care what you dispute or not. It is unlikely that you are qualified to make any statements about this or that you have ever worked in genetics on a high level. It is Biology 101: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_virulence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_virulence

  You just made a statement about a field of science where you seem to have zero educational background and understanding and described something as "without such evidence is outright reckless, unprofessional, and unscientific" and I called you out on it with some Biology 101 information with a Wiki Link. Where is your problem?

    My fist problem is that; you did not refute what I stated, but instead choice to attack my experience. While I am not medically trained, I studied genetic optimization extensively, most importantly phenotypes effective behavior within individual phenotype cells; functions, locations, and connections. My second problem is that; you linked article without any explanation how my statement is false in relation to linked article. My third problem is that; I just don't understand what in my statement is so false that grants attacking my experience, in simple analogy; in case 5 years old tells you 2+2=4, clearly his age is irrelevant for what he is saying to be true. Finally, I explain what I said in original statement; if you have x, y, z variables claiming without evidence that x is only responsible for output value, and without providing evidence why y and z is not responsible is reckless, unprofessional, and unscientific in another words it is just speculation. Note that article ended with “It is clear that today the COVID-19 disease is different.”

You are of course correct that this possible or even likely, but we can't say it is already happening without hard evidence.
