Good. The more mutations appear, the weaker they get, the better to end this hysteria.

> "Recombination could lead to the emergence of new and even more dangerous variants"

Such bullshit citations are the biggest problem nowadays. Recombinations every 20-50 years lead to more dangerous variants. 99% of all recombinations lead to less severe variants. Recombinations make about 5% of all mutations. Mostly it's just wear and tear, loosing parts.

They didn't even dare to cite the British variant conclusions: Much higher rate of asymptotic cases, much less severity. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.01.28.21250680v...

With all new variants appearing, the absolute numbers of severe cases are going down. Less severe variants have higher transmissibility, because people have no reactions. High asymptotic rates.
