"do no harm" is a horrible moral framework. It led directly to the deaths of hundreds of thousands this last year, where we routinely and repeatedly do things that are expected to cause more harm because we haven't first proven "no harm".
Examples include banning the many safe and effective vaccines, prioritizing 2nd doses over first doses, and prioritizing people who have had COVID equally to those who have not.
- LargoLasskhyfv 6y agoThat may be the case, but it may be not. Have you compared the sites where Astra-Zeneca played fast and loose with its vaccine experiments, and the occurence of the more contagious mutations after on a map? Could be puzzling.

Correlation does not imply causation. Vaccine makers prefer to test in regions with high infection activity because statistically significant results can be obtained faster. And mutations are more likely to occur in regions with high infection activity because mutations are a numbers game. Most likely we're just seeing two effects with the same root cause, without those two effects being causally linked.
