My [numerous] friends in South Africa say that anti-vax superstition is extremely common, and current vaccine participation is purely based on fear (everyone who agrees with science has been vaccinated). The variant may well be ravaging the unvaccinated alone.
Of course, you're right, the unvaccinated are a fertile ground for mutations that eventually evade the vaccine.
- makomk 5y agoYeah, South Africa apparently postponed their upcoming vaccine deliveries recently because they're running out of willing people to vaccinate and the current stockpiles will last half a year at the current rate: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/exclusive-south-africa-delays-covid-vaccine-deliveries-inoculations-slow-2021-11-24/ https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/exclusive-south-africa-...
- didjathinkmess 5y agoGood comment, also: the vaccinated are a fertile ground for mutations that eventually evade the vaccine. Unless you have a study that backs up the claim that this mutation phenomenon only happens in people not vaccinated for Covid-19, you should probably stop singling them out. The phenomenon occurs in both.
- Robotbeat 5y agoThose who have already had COVID are fertile ground for a variant evades the immune response from previous exposure.
- frankzinger 5y agoThe virus spreads more rapidly among and lives for longer inside the unvaccinated, as a result getting much more exposure to human immune systems, and thus giving it more opportunity to evolve.
