One day, perhaps, we'll get a proper Brexit and won't have to worry about keeping the EU happy.

Those strains that infect you, grow in you and are able to spread to new hosts are the most advantageous for a parasitic species. They are the real trouble. The host getting sick is a side effect from the point of view of any virus.
You can compare it with more developed parasites, worms living in your intestines e.g. Children spread them, infecting and re-infecting one another. The host hardly has any problem and the parasite spreads and spreads.
And for confirming that Zaphod either couldn't or wouldn't , but in
fact did'nt answer the question?? But anyway, being rhetorical it
was addressed to the forum at large, and not to him personally !!
So from what you say, my theory is quite feasible in practice ?
So to sum up, then, it IS possible that the virus could grow weaker
naturally over time and so do away with the need for vaccines ??
Thanks for that, it satisfies my curiosity ?
I suppose that's what herd immunity is then, really ??

The 27 are abandoning EU rules perpetually now, by providing state aid against the state aid EU rules, buying vaccines from Russia, against the single market rules, closing borders against the single market rules and also abandoning its own Vaccines Procurement Program.

1. letting the virus infect everybody. Survivors cannot be infected again. The virus solves that problem by mutating. The new variant can infect again. With the common cold that is no problem, that virus causes mild side effects. The flu virus can kill, so we try to protect the vulnerable by vaccination.
2. In case the virus infection causes very side effects, like polio, vaccinating the whole polulation is needed. In case of polio 95% of the population need to be vaccinated. Then the virus cannot find new hosts and dies.

We aren't and we continue to buy less and less from the EU as time goes on.

So, here's a question, did we buy from within the EU or did we buy from outside the EU?
British taxes being low etc etc
