Okay.
But maybe we should focus on our own evolution rather than the viruses. We are infinitely more powerful than these viruses, unless of course we weaken ourselves. Maybe the virus is our friend, helping us to make better decisions about our health. Clearly we can live quite successfully alongside these viruses. We probably already have hundreds of these in our bodies. Eradication and vaccination may be the wrong approach for many of us, even vaccines are safe and effective.
Sorry, I didn't see this post until now.
I find it confusing for me to answer (my problem not yours) as viruses are not only many but differt from one another. Thus,I agree with you in certain circumstances as well as disagree. Specifically, I was confused by your anthropocentric use of "powerful" and your reference to "wrong" with respect to "eradication and vaccination."
I don't think it is anthropocentric to say that we are more powerful than a particular virus and I don't know how I would even have parameters to discuss and debate that with you. It is simply stating an obvious fact. But maybe I can clarify. We have everything within our own makeup as humans, without additional biochemical/medical assistance to live successfully alongside these viruses. FYI, the viruses are never what kill us, anyway. They are simply catalytic mechanisms to trigger are own pre-existing imbalances. Nobody has ever died of Covid 19. Cause of death is always something else. As for the viruses, they have a short lifespan, and, unlike us, are dependent on a biological host, for survival and replication. That is what I meant by us being more powerful.
The reason why I used the term "wrong" in reference to eradication and vaccination is that it fails to understand the nature of the problem. We do not need to add additional foreign biochemical elements to our bodies to successfully deal with a viral problem. We need to strengthen the existing natural biochemical elements our bodies need to be healthy.
I suggest, to get a more complete understanding of what I am talking about, that you watch this hour long video by Dr. Zach Bush
Link here. It is well worth the time.
Finally, I think it is more anthropocentric to view viruses as enemies that need to be eradicated then it is to have my point of view that we are more powerful. But that's just me.
