Recombination can be of major evolutionary importance, according to Fran? ?ois Balloux at University College London. It is considered by many to be how SARS-CoV-2 originated.
U.S. still hasn't ruled out lab accident origin for Covid because China has n't been transparent
Recombination is possible to happen in nature, but also as likely to happen artificially.
Horizontal gene transfer is a major force in evolution. It's easier to steal a feature than to develop one yourself.

When you have 70 million infected people walking around, this kind of thing is 100% certainty.
They can forget about herd immunity, it's not going to happen. The pandemic is totally out of control and there's nothing they can do about it.
Is it known that infection or vaccination is ineffective against variants of the virus? The US case rate is now about 1/3 of the last peak and declining.
Worldometer numbers suggest that about 8% of the US population has had it; that's probably low.

I, repeat, without "Implication of Omission": "Current Vaccine is not going to last 7 years".
We will likely have to repeat vaccination every year.
So far there are about 31 known true reinfection cases in the world. If variants are spreading, that seems awfully low. The concept that the variants evade immunity has "sparked concerns" and generates sorely needed headlines.

There are so many strains out there now, most of the data, which comes from the vaccine makers, is laboratory testing. The laboratory testing uses blo od from vaccinated people to gauge the effectiveness, and they don't mentio n how representative it is.

The pandemic was totally out of control in the US - new infections per day peaked at a 7-day rolling average of 255,260 on the 11th January, but they are down to 79,112 which is still a bit higher than the previous peak on th e 11th July, but the country is finally making some progress. The number of vaccinations being done at the moment isn't high enough to make that kind of difference, but the numbers are building up. Fred is being unreasonably pessimistic. Few new infections represent fewer opportunities for mutation, which also helps.

80 million infections is about a fourth of the population. That's a lot.
Millions of people have been vaccinated by now; that's a big laboratory. Are they catching mutant strains?

Yes! previous infection does not neutralize most strains, but it does preve nt it from turning into a serious bout.
The coronavirus is here to stay ? here?s what that means
They could be looking at 400,000 deaths annually if not for the therapeutic s being developed to treat it. The therapeutics should reduce that to about 100,000 because there are always people who either won't take of themselve s or their health is too far gone to survive.
That article is all speculation and opinion and hedging. "So far unclear" sums it up.

Even if China were completely transparent it would be impossible to rule it out completely. We know quite enough to be sure that it is very improbable , but political propaganda isn't going to admit that.

Of course, if the virus isn't circulating in your community, it won't infec t you in the first place. This is pretty much true in Australia and New Zea land. If the rest of the world vaccinates enough people fast enough, it wil l be true everywhere else.
Once the virus isn't infecting all that many people,it won't ave many oppor tunities to mutate, and we won't have to develop any new vaccines.
