"We know conclusively that large unvaccinated populations do lead to the emergence of more virulent strains."

Then why were the experts saying that virulence should go down over time at the beginning of the pandemic? It seems that either side would just be conjecture.

I know Elon Musk tweeted that out early in the pandemic but I don’t recall medical experts specifically making that claim. If some did, they were clearly wrong.

Ah, my wording was off. Some said it was a possiblity, not that it should.
