The team of researchers reportedly applied a mathematics model to the rate of transmission manifested by the coronavirus pandemic to predict how vaccination efforts may actually encourage a vaccine-resistant mutation of the virus.
Their outworkings aligned with a scientific concept known as “selective pressure,” or the force that drives an organism to evolve. In essence, the team claims, a fast rate of vaccination coupled with the relaxation of masks and social […]
