49 Viable Variants of COVID?
Post #541
SARS-CoV-2 is said to have a lower mutation rate than influenza, but that leaves a question to be answered:
How come there are so many viable variants of COVID?
Not all mutations are viable, and some lead to viral death. One guarantee that a mutation is viable is if the mutant forms at least 1% of variants in circulation. But then you end up with 49 viable variants in just a couple of years (green marks added):
One way to explain how it can be possible that SARS-CoV-2, simultaneously, mutates less than flu but produces more variants at a faster rate than flu does, is if the COVID jabs fuel viral mutation. Even if COVID jabs just lead to higher viral loads, you get more variants (even at lower rates of mutation).
Here is a distribution of viral loads for COVID from 3 regions of the world:
But as “vaccine campaigns” raged on, viral loads grew. After 6 months have passed since your last “vaccination” for Omicron, for instance, the Omicron viral loads are 8.56 log10 copies/mL (e.g., the right edge of top histogram).
Evidence suggests that COVID jabs cause mutations to occur at a high rate — likely by elevating the viral loads that people have — even if the baseline mutation rate for SARS-CoV-2 remains moderate when compared to other RNA viruses.

However, it is difficult to understand what he is until we have seriously studied virology, chemical immunology, and molecular biology, but even a layman can easily imagine his conclusions. As the late French DR. Luc Montagnier said, it is impossible to create vaccines for RNA-viruses in modern times.

In short, the immune status created by vaccination is of course different for each individual, and it takes time for the individual's body to reach a certain level of immunity.
Furthermore, mutations in RNA-viruses are due to chance, so the number of mutations = ∑ (number of people vaccination) x ∑ (immune status that is changing due to individual vaccination (it takes days and months to stabilize)) x ∑ ( RNA-virus's random mutation), I think the number of virus's random mutation would be huge in the society.
