Ok, so can you cite a reasearcher who shares your opinion?
We are talking about large scale campaigns that were thought to be succesful as they were widely deployed. But the virus simply mutated back to dangerous.
solution: expensive and working vaccine
problem: cost
- xupybd 4y agoYou've over simplified the problem. Yes infinite resources would solve this. However, the cost is astronomical. You require not just the vaccine but the infrastructure to support it in regions that are very far off this level of infrastructure. It will take generations of political stability in these nations to get there. That doesn't look likely anytime soon.
- epgui 4y agoI’m sure you could go and cherry-pick someone who had the opposite opinion somewhere, but in reality this is not a very controversial position. It’s introductory textbook / basic reasoning material (if you consider “basic population dynamics” to be “basic”, that is). The only thing I can think of that would make what I said wrong would be if the mutation rate of the iatrogenic strain was many orders of magnitude higher than the wild strain, which does not appear to be the case. And even then, I’d say it would be a “maybe” at most.
