That may be the case, but it may be not. Have you compared the sites where Astra-Zeneca played fast and loose with its vaccine experiments, and the occurence of the more contagious mutations after on a map? Could be puzzling.
> Have you compared the sites where Astra-Zeneca played fast and loose with its vaccine experiments, and the occurence of the more contagious mutations after on a map? Correlation does not imply causation. Vaccine makers prefer to test in regions with high infection activity because statistically significant results can be obtained faster. And mutations are more likely to occur in regions with high infection activity…
I'm aware of that concept. That's why I wrote may. Anyways, there are, or have been graphics on the net correlating that nicely.
