The virus has not made a "mistake". In fact, it's part of its evolutionary process.Caution, Omicron is different. This
Caution, Omicron is relatively benign. Omicron is the first variant where it has presented a real option NOT to boost (still need double vax). The basis is that natural immunity is far more advantageous than a synthetic one. This was not an option with previous variants since the risk of hospitalization and death was far higher, contagiousness far lower (counterintuitively this is bad), and incubation period longer...ergo the correct choice to get double vaxd. As such, for those who are healthy AND 2x vaxd, getting a booster can be strongly argued to be disadvantageous when the next deadly variants (after Omicron) come to bear. Note, there are those that believe there is a possibility that the virus might have 'made a mistake' with it's Omicron variant and presented the possibility that it will be herded out. Omicron, universally is less dangerous for those who have been previously infected (like in Iran) and a little less so for those who have been 2x vaxd (like in Iran). I strongly suggest following this scientist (Campbell) and his particular video about Iran. I predict Iran will be fine.
Viruses are not living beings. They cannot reproduce without the existence of a host. Therefore, a virus, which is nothing but a piece of genetic material (DNA/RNA), cannot survive if it's too lethal. Its whole existence in the population depends on the hosts staying alive after all.
As a result, from an evolutionary point of view, unlike bacterial and fungal diseases, viral disease tend to become weaker over time to stay in the population. Some of the most successful viruses are those that we carry them for life and they never make us sick in normal conditions. Covid is going to have the same fate and Omicron is part of its evolution.
