"The science didn't change, the virus did, people didn't take it serious & gave it a host to mutate"




Viruses adapt in order to survive.
Humans think they're top of the evolutionary heap, but they can't be bothered to even do this much.
Adapt. Or. Die.
It's that simple.


@LadyJayPersists
The science didn't change, the virus did.
Why do people have such a hard time grasping simple concepts?

And why did the virus change?
Because people didn't take it seriously and gave it a host to mutate in

They have no intellectual capacity, no desire to survive.

What they do is mutate as they replicate.

If one of those mutations happens to be better at replicating and spreading given the hosts it can infect, then it will become more prevalent.

But yeah, the whole opportunity missed was to deprive it of hosts in the first place, waaayy back in Jan 2020. Not that it was even feasible to do that, but only China tried from what I can tell. Western cultures felt they were too exceptional to get a little virus infection.
