Viral Variants, Selective Pressure and News Station Silliness: Understanding the Laws of Science and Biology ( Viruses Part 2)

from Dr. Fred Clary's Podcast · host Dr. Fred Clary

A selective pressure is any reason for organisms with certain phenotypes to have either a survival benefit or disadvantage. Selective pressures leads natural selection.  Viruses follow the laws of biology like Selective Pressure.  Mutations (Variants) lead to changes and survivability of the virus.  Too many pressures lead to weakening of the virus.  Minimal selective pressures lead to the statistical probability the virus will adapt in a way to allow it to survive (stronger). Thanks guys! Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting/life coach/ gym-chalk covered philosopher asks you to consider that what you do affects the strength of the virus for your neighbor.
