What I'm curious about is if the "leaky" vaccines are actually the cause for the amount of mutation we've seen in Covid in 2 years. Variants seemed to accelerate after vaccine rollout began but, I'm not remotely qualified to say they're related.
- ThatGeoGuy 5y agoIt doesn't seem likely. Vaccines were mostly rolled out in the west (read: United States), whereas the initial variants (alpha and delta) were a result of COVID proliferation in unvaccinated areas. Delta, for example, first really blew up in India. It is important to not forget the little details, and to avoid speculations based on broad statements (e.g. the vaccines "rolled out" and we got "more variants"). The vaccines started rolling out to very specific locations and we got variants everywhere.
