An important factor to wearing masks and getting vaccinated that is not being touted is the virus' ability to mutate into different strains....which we are already beginning to see.
The more hosts the virus can infect, the more opportunities it has to reproduce. The more opportunities it has to reproduce, the more chances it has to mutate.
Influenza is another virus that is a corona virus. There is a reason we need flu shots every year. That virus has been around humans for literally hundreds of years. It has had the opportunity to mutate into so many different variants, that all we can do is chase it and try to guess which variant will be prevalent each flu season.
The Covid corona virus is new to human hosts. If we can get enough people vaccinated to cut off its opportunity to reproduce, we can prevent it from establishing too many variants and having to have different Covid shots available each season.
I encourage everyone to get vaccinated to prevent this scenario.
