Jlang,

I guess I lied.

Your analogy by extension holds that Covid would not persist and evolve without an immunocompromised population of HIV patients. That is the argument which you first articulate, frankly peeving me immensely amd raising doubts whether your are immensely homophobic or just generally intolerant.

There's a reason so many variants of concern are coming from areas with an established HIV epidemic.. we now have two concurrent pandemics occuring at once

I am generally slow to ascribe bad intent to the actions and statements of others, but it seems, absent a good explanation, that you have earned that assessment.

That being said, you fail again (I’ve lost count how many times) to recognize that your mutated population, in this case co-opting my goat analogy is MUTATED but not has not demonstrated an advantage in the face of a SELECTIVE PRESSURE.

Goats that survive the weak predator efforts of “utterly blind” and “half dead” wolves are in fact less for than the “wild type” goats facing normal predation.

Thank you for articulating more clearly than I was able exactly how incorrect your argument is well.

Well done.
