There is no conclusive evidince that the COVID-19 vaccination drive will lead to deadlier mutations of the virus.On March 6, 2021, self-proclaimed "anti-vaxxer" Belgian scientist Geert Vanden Bossche stated that the COVID-19 vaccine works in a similar manner to antibiotics, and will become ineffective and lead to harmful mutations of the virus when overused. In a letter addressed to the World Health Organization (WHO) and other medical professionals, Bossche writes that the COVID-19 vaccine must be halted immediately. While viruses can mutate, there is no evidence to back up Bossche's claim that vaccinations will lead to harmful variants. An article published by the scientific journal Nature, states that if the vaccines have been supplied to enough people, the transmission of the virus would be brought under control. Various studies have found that vaccines are effective in stopping people from contracting the virus, and are somewhere between 70 to 90% effective in stopping COVID-19. In the guidelines provided for vaccinated people, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) mentions that the risk of COVID-19 transmission is significantly less in fully vaccinated people than in others. A blog post for the Lippincott NursingCenter sheds light on how COVID-19 related words like variants, mutations, and strains are used interchangeably when they are slightly different from one another. It cites CDC research stating that current COVID-19 vaccines can target some COVID-19 variants. WHO notes that large gatherings will increase the chances of transmission. There is no scientific evidence to show that fatal variants of the COVID-19 could come into existence as a result of mass vaccination drives. Vaccine hesitancy existed long before the pandemic, but vaccines have consistently been safe. There has never been a credible study linking vaccines to long-term health problems. The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to a lot of potentially dangerous misinformation.
