It mutates because people keep vaxxing and creating new reasons for it to mutate. Also odd how there were thousand of deaths from the flu...and then zero, but fortunately, hospitals were paid for C-19 deaths. Totally normal.

More cases create more mutations. There are no payments for deaths https://www.denverpost.com/2020/05/20/coronavirus-covid-medi...

Preventing cases does not help create more mutations

Having more cases which means more replication which means more possibility for errors, THAT is how you get mutations.
