Despite media reports suggesting unvaccinated people will drive mutations of SARS-CoV-2 (or the CCP virus, which causes COVID-19), actual research suggests that more dangerous mutations of the virus could come from the specific nature of the vaccines now being used around the world. Half of Americans have declined the vaccine.
Only 49 percent of Americans more than 18 years of age are fully vaccinated, with 56 percent having received one dose of the two-dose Moderna and Pfizer vaccines.
Some media reports are claiming these unvaccinated people are serving as viral factories for more dangerous variants of the virus. But this false narrative hides the fact that mass vaccinations may be putting us all in a far more dire situation than necessary.
Vaccines Drive Viruses to Mutate
Viral mutation as a consequence of vaccination came to wide public attention in 2018, when Quanta magazine wrote about Andrew Read’s research into Marek’s disease among chickens. The article, “Vaccines Are Pushing Pathogens to Evolve,” described how “just as antibiotics breed resistance in bacteria, vaccines can incite changes that enable diseases to escape their control.”
The article details the history of the Marek’s disease vaccine for chickens, first introduced in 1970. Today, we’re on the third version of this vaccine, as it stops working within a decade. The reason? The virus had mutated to evade the vaccine. Worse, research suggests this kind of vaccine-induced mutation seems to result in increasingly deadly viruses that are more difficult to treat.
Read’s 2015 paper in PLOS Biology, “Imperfect Vaccination Can Enhance the Transmission of Highly Virulent Pathogens,” shared the results of an experiment that vaccinated 100 chickens against Marek’s disease and left 100 unvaccinated. All of the birds were then infected with varying strains of the virus. Some strains were more virulent and dangerous than others.
Over the course of the birds’ lives, the unvaccinated ones shed more of the least virulent strains into the environment, while the vaccinated ones shed more of the most virulent strains. As noted in the Quanta article:
“The findings suggest that the Marek’s vaccine encourages more dangerous viruses to proliferate. This increased virulence might then give the viruses the means to overcome birds’ vaccine-primed immune responses and sicken vaccinated flocks.”
