Too many times I heard 'vaccines induces variants' well, is not true.
Let's try to understand why. 1/n
Let's try to understand why. 1/n
The first, striking element, can be observed in India. We know that the current Delta variant is born in India and it was called the Indian variant. If look at the prevalence in India you can appreciate that in May 2021 was 90% prevalent. 2/n
In the same period, the percentage of fully vaccinated Indian was close to 3% (an extremely small fraction). Is easy to understand that ONLY 13% of the vaccinated pop CANNOT generate or contribute to a variant, also because the Delta was born WAY before ( probably Dec 2020) 3/n
Moreover recently a preprint report that the vaccination coverage rate is inversely correlated to the mutation frequency of the SARS-CoV-2 delta variants.

TAKE HOME MESSAGES:
1) vaccination is inversely correlated with mutation frequency --> variants creation
2) Getting a vaccine will protect YOU and the community from the VARIANTS

Errata corrige 3% not 13%
