#darwinian

On the face of it, it seems that we have been fortunate with the #OmicronVariant of the #Coronavirus in that it seems to be less lethal than the last major one, the #DeltaVariant. However, the more it is allowed to circulate amongst the population, particularly the unvaccinated, the more generations it will go through and the more chances it will get to mutate into a form which both evade contemporary treatments and is more deadly. We're witnessing #Darwinian #evolution in action but we needn't be passive observers in this battle. It makes sense both on an individual and societal level to get #vaccinated, interestingly from both a selfish and altruistic standpoint.
