No vaccine superheroes or supervillains: Fix the system - The Mail & Guardian

As with many debates in absolutes, the true position is too complex to express in a simplistic extreme.

Is Gates a superhero or a supervillain? That’s the wrong question. The right question is: How is it that one person can have so much influence over world health? Given all that, his role in public health is not all that bad. The fiasco of sluggish vaccine roll-out and the fight over the Trips waiver is a natural consequence of this policy failure.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is much slower at mutating than the flu virus; we only see rapid mutation when a lot of it is in circulation. Vaccination reduces the amount of virus and hence the probability of mutation. Also encouraging is convergent evolution: similar variants have appeared independently in different parts of the world, indicating that the virus has limited options for developing more contagious variants.

As with interpreting reported Covid-19 deaths, adverse events should be interpreted versus a baseline of “normal”. With no sense of irony, many who try to claim that all Covid-19 deaths result from other causes also attribute every post-vaccination adverse event to the vaccine. For Covid-19, we have robust excess deaths statistics in many countries that show far more people have died than did in a year without the virus and that the official Covid-19 toll is an undercount.
