for God’s sake, why aren’t they finally admitting that mass vaccination is currently driving this evolution by enabling a whole population to place immune pressure on the very anti-S antibodies these vaccines elicit?

Geert vanden Bossche reply: "But really, for God’s sake, why aren’t they finally admitting that mass vaccination is currently driving this evolution by enabling a whole population to place immune pressure on the very anti-S antibodies these vaccines elicit? Every genomic epidemiologist is finding that this is the case. In this way, S-directed immune escape variants are specifically selected to overcome the vaccine-mediated immune response. And of course, because of high levels of viral shedding ( due to highly transmissible delta), those immune escape variants can now quickly evolve to resistance ( to vaccines) and become increasingly dominant. This will now happen very fast. Why? Because of the large scale of these vaccination campaigns. The big mistake was not the vaccination as such but to MASSIVELY vaccinate in the midst of an epidemic. You can only afford to do so with vaccines inducing sterilizing immunity!!"
