But perhaps partial vaccination has a similar effect if you make transmission less likely and now only more transmissible mutations make the cut.

- noduerme 5y agoThis is true, and I wonder whether partial vaccination didn't play a role in the rise of Delta. But more transmissible != more lethal.
- jhgb 5y agoIn the case of Delta it almost certainly didn't. But the fact that something happened through one mechanism doesn't mean that it can't happen through another mechanism.
- sweetdreamerit 5y agoAm I wrong if I think that the most transmissible mutations tend to win the competition towards the less contagious ones in any case?
