A lot of people are on the fence on whether or not to get the COVID vaccine. While all doctors are saying this is mandatory in order to eliminate the virus on a nationwide or global scale, there are still people who are skeptical.
The fact is that if a large number of people don’t get the vaccine, it will keep coming back, in various forms, as the virus mutates in order to survive.
The way viruses survive is that they enter the host, proliferate within the host, and go on to infect others. Most people who survive will build up antibodies to defend against the same virus.
If a person who has had the vaccine encounters the virus, the body will quickly recognize it and eliminate the threat with antibodies. However, if the person had the vaccine, but they encounter a mutated new version of the virus, they will still get sick. The antibodies may help a little, or not at all.
If you don’t get the vaccine and you get infected, you are giving the virus a chance to mutate and release back into the wild. The virus we had in January is not the same as the one in December.
The only way this mutation of the virus happens is if it has a human host. If you don’t get the vaccine, you are a prime host.
So really, the only way we are going to eliminate the threat of this virus is to make sure that it is purged out of circulation. And that is done through a vaccine.
