傳染病專家：未接種疫苗者是「變種工廠」

我知道八卦板眾各個都是英語大師，英語能力超越母語人士，我就只提供部分翻譯啦。

(CNN)Unvaccinated people do more than merely risk their own health. They're also a risk to everyone if they become infected with coronavirus, infectious disease specialists say.

傳染病專家表示，未接種疫苗者不只造成自身健康風險，他們如果染疫，更是造成大家的風險

That's because the only source of new coronavirus variants is the body of an infected person.



因為新變種的唯一來源就是染疫者的身體。



"Unvaccinated people are potential variant factories," Dr. William Schaffner, a professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, told CNN Friday.



「未接種疫苗者是潛在變種工廠」范德比大學醫學中心傳染病部門教授William Schaffner博士週五向CNN表示。



"The more unvaccinated people there are, the more opportunities for the virus to multiply," Schaffner said.



「未接種人數愈多，病毒繁衍的機會就愈多」



"When it does, it mutates, and it could throw off a variant mutation that is even more serious down the road."



「病毒繁衍時會發生變異，且有可能突產生更嚴重的變種」



All viruses mutate, and while the coronavirus is not particularly mutation-prone, it does change and evolve.



所有病毒皆會變異，冠狀病毒雖非特別容易變異的病毒，但仍會改變和演化。






多數變異對病毒毫無影響，有些變異甚至弱化病毒，但有時候，病毒的隨機變異會強化病毒——傳染力更高、複製效率更高、能感染更多元的物種。




If a mutant version is successful enough, it becomes a variant.



But it has to replicate to do that. An unvaccinated person provides that opportunity.


"Every time the viruses changes, that gives the virus a different platform to add more mutations. Now we have viruses that spread more efficiently."

Viruses that don't spread cannot mutate.










The current vaccines protect well against all the variants so far, but that could change at any moment. That's why doctors and public health officials want more people to get vaccinated.



"The more we allow the virus to spread, the more opportunity the virus has to change," the World Health Organization advised last month.















Like a bank robber whose picture is on wanted posters everywhere, the virus that succeeds will be the virus that makes a random change that makes it look less visible to the immune system.



Those populations of unvaccinated people give the virus the change not only to spread, but to change.



"All it takes is one mutation in one person," said Dr. Philip Landrigan, a pediatrician and immunologist at Boston College.
