    This report states that "while other viruses, such as the influenza virus, have mutated due to their inherent mutagenicity, massive human intervention has changed the natural course of SARS-CoV-2 evolution". It's also great to see that the author has paid much attention to the selective pressure induced by vaccines and treatment methods that target the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) "Increased SARS-CoV-2 loads in humans, combined with selective pressure due to vaccines and therapeutics targeting the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD), have also led to an unprecedented rise in the emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants in 2022.".

    Our team was among the first to independently warned the public about what we called it "Unintentional Directed Accelerated Evolution of Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)".

    We also discussed how selective pressure-inducing treatments may lead to the emegence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants.
