- pcmoney 5y agoThis is VERY different than polio/small pox. We have no chance with current medical tech of eliminating a highly mutagenic coronavirus. Even if we did the cost/benefit of doing so would not be adequate.

- sjg007 5y agoJust look up what the words mean scientifically if you are going to use them. Hell even read the article you cite. Mutagenic describes a mutagen which causes mutagenesis. https://www.nature.com/subjects/mutagenesis https://www.nature.com/subjects/mutagenesis Covid19 is not mutagenic. However, it is highly and continually mutated.
- dahfizz 5y agoYeah. It was eradicated by a vaccine that actually granted immunity.
- tagoregrtst 5y agoPolio doesn't require boosters every three months and a redesigned vaccine every 18 (as they’re developing now)
