Are you getting the vaccine? - Absolute trashfire thread, please enter with caution

Google natural selection. You'll learn something.
Some of us know about this thing called evolution where the more a virus spreads, the more it can evolve. Vaccines will help with herd immunity which will help prevent this from happening. You should know this since you're a totally real biologist, but I guess you should've googled that, too

That's why every virus to ever infect mammals throughout history has evolved to peak lethality, apparently.

What? I never said they evolved to be more deadly, but it can happen. The more a virus evolves, the harder it is to control. Since it's a new virus, stopping the spread and evolution of it is very important. You should know this, Mr Totally Real Biologist.
 
This is an interesting thread to see how opinionated people are for or against the vaccines and masks. I'm probably stating the obvious, but over a year later since the start of the whole charade, a lot of people have already made their decisions and probably won't change them unless there's overwhelming evidence to convince them otherwise.

Good lord, you actually think you can stop evolution?
Truly, this is peak science!!

I swear to repent my ways if I catch koroner again and it kills me that time.

Are you really saying that if a virus is more prevalent it won't have more of a chance to evolve?

Anyone who thinks you're really a biologist is as retarded as you are

Prevalence is less of a factor than isolation is.
Isolation between different metapopulations more often results in distinct gene changes than fluid, widespread metapopulations.
Isolation also means that selective pressures are stronger, à la the Galapagos finches

You're really still seething over that fact, aren't you?

And you think slowing the spread of a virus via a vaccine doesn't help with that?

It's pretty funny how obvious it is that you're lying to anyone with even a fundamental understanding of biology. You didn't even know what herd immunity was and how vaccines help it. You didn't know what a viral vector vaccine was or the differences between the covid vaccines. I might as well claim to be an NBA player because it's just as legit as your claim
 
And you think slowing the spread of a virus via a vaccine doesn't help with that?
It helps it to evolve by fracturing a single metapopulation into multiple isolated subpopulations while applying selective pressure for certain traits (e.g. surface spike protein aberrance, higher antibody evasion, shorter incubation period, etc. etc.) while removing the pressure for other traits.

"You disagreed with me, therefore you must be lying about your career" - HHH

So then you're saying people getting vaccinated is good?

When you don't even understand basic concepts of your supposed career and when it's obvious when you google shit, yeah, I can tell you are lying. You didn't even know what a viral vector vaccine was or that there's more covid vaccines than the mRNA ones. You were unaware of herd immunity. You probably also think mRNA vaccines are new when they have been under research for over a decade now
 
So then you're saying people getting vaccinated is good?
It's neither good or bad; what I'm saying is you have to be fucking retarded if you think you can stop evolution.

At least the young earth creationist fundies have religion as an excuse, what do you doomer/uber-vaxxers have?

I've literally mentioned all of those things before.
Its not my fault that you don't bother to read what I write.

You just admitted, a few posts up, that you can indeed slow it down. Just because you're playing pretend biologist because you're terrified of getting a vaccine and don't understand science doesn't mean the rest of us can't tell you're full of shit

You didn't specifically mention it but you said not to take the covid vaccines because they're mRNA, which was brand new technology. You also say that people shouldn't get vaccinated, which shows that you don't understand herd immunity. You can admit you're lying now because it's super obvious.

But since you're playing biologist, I am going to play NBA player. I gotta go to practice or the Lakers won't be happy with me

When? When the fuck did I say that?

I can't tell if you're just being a disingenuous cunt or if you seriously can't read.

:stress:
You literally said that a virus having more hosts won't make it evolve more and that vaccines are scary and won't help with that. There also aren't many anti-vax biologists. You're obviously lying about being a biologist.
I can't tell if you're just being a disingenuous cunt or if you seriously can't read.
Sorry that being called out on your obvious lies is making you so upset. Just admit you're afraid of the vaccine because science scares you and I'll stop calling you out
