Doctor of Biological Sciences, virologist Ancha Baranova said that there is a hypothesis about the ancient coronavirus, which destroyed those who had hyperactive interferons. Those who did not have such genes were able to recover. The expert made a prediction of how the virus will behave today. Read more about this in our newsletter.
The specialist suggested that the genotypes most sensitive to coronavirus will reproduce less. However, this will not last long.
“Even without vaccines and drugs, in two or three generations, the genetic structure of humanity will become different – and the coronavirus will no longer frolic in it,”
Baranova is sure: humanity as a whole is not in danger, since it is able to adapt and has a wide variety of genotypes that are resistant to infections.
In the human genome, there are options that indicate that in the past, people evolved rather quickly under the influence of external circumstances, the biologist added.
Earlier, Letidor wrote that vaccination against covid gave an unexpected immune response to a Russian woman with AIDS.
