Overhead something interesting on the news today. Paraphrasing: “a sudden increase in covid infections in India has motivated the US to send vaccines overseas. If the outbreak there is left untreated, it could potentially cause the virus to mutate, rendering our vaccines useless.”

We all know the photos they’ve been using to show dead people on the street are fake. So what’s the motivation here? Is there something up with the gene therapy injections?

What is your take?

What I mean is that the mutation would have happened without the vaccine, and it would have spread just as much without the vaccine. The vaccine just highlights the new strain by removing the old strain.

Perhaps it would have, but without the vaccine that mutation may not be more fit than the original strain. If there was no difference in fitness, I'd might just emerge as a spontaneous new strain. For respiratory viruses those your of mutations usually lead to more contagious but less deadly strains. But the creation of new strains is dramatically accelerated by changes in environment.

The strain's virulence would be identical vaccine or no vaccine. The vaccine cannot have an impact on the virulence of the new strain. If the new strain was more virulent it would take over anyway without the vaccine. If it was equally or less virulent it doesn't matter.
