1. Terry Jones:

   Knowledge from the past can protect us in the present. When an animal or plant goes extinct, it isn't coming back. But mutations can re-occur or revert and viruses can mutate or spill over from the animal reservoir so there will always be another zoonosis( disease caused by viruses that jumped from animal hosts into human hosts).

2. Bharat Pankhania:

   If one were to draw a graph of vaccine coverage versus danger, it would be a linear progression, the greater the vaccine coverage, the less the dangers and the other way around, of course, we want to get to 90 % coverage, it is a tall order globally. If we get to 70 % and stay there, there will be many sporadic outbreaks which may overwhelm health services. Worse, it will create more chances for the virus to mutate and variants of concern to emerge.

3. Gregory Poland:

   What people fundamentally don't understand is that when there is this high level of community transmission, this will mutate, who knows what's going to come next. We are playing with fire.

4. Takeshi Kasai:

   We should not be surprised to see more surges in the future. As long as transmission continues, the virus can continue to mutate, as the emergence of omicron demonstrates, reminding us of the need to stay vigilant.

5. Simon Clarke:

   When a virus is swilling around the population, it can mutate, every time it replicates( infects) there is the possibility of a mutation. While most of those are neutral or even damage the virus, every so often a mutation gives the virus a' fitness advantage,' which makes it more transmissible. Bluntly, the more people with a second dose, the less this thing can mutate in dangerous ways.
