If you keep reading about it you will understand what I am trying to tell you. Here is another article and I copy and pasted the important part again for you.

The creation of a vaccine for any new virus could also cause additional mutations.

“Let’s explain this concept a little further. Any virus will keep trying to change, so it can continue to spread. With all vaccines, the more quickly people get vaccinated the better. The slower vaccination happens, the higher the chance of having mutations in the virus and the appearance of more variants. And, as we are seeing with the delta variant, the more the virus can spread in the community.

In order to keep viruses in check, everyone must do their part by getting vaccinated, and scientists must work together around the world to track emerging variants.”

I actually posted that article yesterday.

You may have posted it but you obviously only read that first blurb that seemed to back you up. If you read further it explains exactly what I am saying. Widespread vaccination will stop the variants and mutations. Which is the total opposite of what you said.

Nothing in that article says that widespread vaccination will stop the variants and mutations. Keep making thing up Punch...

Ok now you are just wasting my time. Ill copy and paste from the article one more time.

It's both probably.

The article says we can keep viruses "in check" via vaccination; it does not say "widespread vaccination will stop the variants and mutations."

There's a big difference there.

“The slower the vaccinations happen the higher chance of mutations in the virus and new strains”

How in the hell can you read it, quote it, and tell ke it doesn’t say that”? Wow. Just wow.
