As scientists who study evolution, we are concerned about the threat posed to public health by evolving SARS-CoV-2 variants. We celebrate the start of vaccination campaigns, enabled by remarkable scientific achievements, but these advances are now at risk of being undermined by evolution. In particular, we emphasize that—unless we keep case numbers low—novel variants will continue to emerge, increasing the chances that some will evade vaccine-induced immunity.

病毒在进化:降低SARS-CoV-2进化潜力的四个公共卫生重点

作为研究进化论的科学家,我们关注不断演变的SARS-CoV-2变异对公共健康的威胁。我们庆祝疫苗接种运动的开始,并取得了非凡的科学成就,但是这些进展现在有被进化所破坏的风险。特别是,我们强调指出,除非我们将病例数保持在低水平,否则新的变种将继续出现,从而增加了某些变种逃避疫苗诱导的免疫力的机会。
