> Now had the unvaccinated in the US bothered to get vaccinated, the Delta variant might never have taken hold. That's conjecture. A conclusion from this study[1] is that vaccines correlate with dominance of fitter variants, including Delta. That suggests that it's possible that vaccines allow them to propagate. "the decline in lineage diversity was indeed correlated with increased rates of mass vaccination. Furthermore, the decline in lineage diversity was coupled with increased dominance of the B.1.1.7 (alpha), B.1.1.617 (delta) and P.1 (gamma) variants of concern, suggesting that these variants may be “fitter” SARS-CoV-2 lineages.” [1] https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.01.21259833v... |
