So you resort to an argument that no one has made. We all KNOW that viruses mutate. We also know that the more the virus mutates, in general, the less lethal it becomes.
Actually this is where Darwin's theory of evolution comes into play. That those viruses that mutate into less communicable strains, or less reproductive strains die out. While those that are more communicable, or that reproduce at higher rates become the dominant strain.
A strain that better evades the human immunity response, quickly becomes the dominant variety, as we've seen with the delta variant.
