Interesting that the cases starting to increase just about when vaccinations started. (The study also confirmed that the variant -- called B.1.427/B.1.429 and first detected in December -- has surged across California. The second study found that the variant has spread rapidly in San Francisco's Mission District in the past few months. By late January, it had become the predominant variant in California, and cases caused by the variant are now doubling every 18 days, according to Chiu and colleagues.) https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20210225/new-coronavirus-variant-surging-in-california?src=rss_public

Viruses don't have a will or agency. I hate when people describe natural selection this way. The virus is not "trying to survive" any more than dust passing through a screen door is trying to survive. The vaccine is the screen door filtering out the variants for which it is effective, leaving the unaffected variants to pass through and continue multiplying.

this. they are not even alive as we know it. viruses are fragments of dna.
closer to a zombie really, not alive not dead

thanks for making my point. The vaccine made the holes in the screen door bigger so it can't filter out some variants anymore.
