the thing that every virus has done throughout all of recorded history.
This is not true. Measels is just as deadly to an unvaccinated person now as it was when it emerged a millennia ago. Rabies was recorded in mesopotamia 2000 years ago and has a fatality rate of virtually 100%. It is considered, for all intents and purposes, untreatable and incurable.
this; I'd say virus types that spread via breathing tend to mutate into weaker; and virus types that are inflicted via bite tend to be strong, because bitten ones dont readily spread out of human, nor need more effective infecting as they get directly into bloodstream
You missed the most obvious theory;
All of the old people are vaccinated, and, just as before, nearly all serious cases are the old are people.
It's about what we'd expect from 60-80% effective vaccine.
Or: the virus ran through the population last year, and now it has mutated to a less deadly variant in order to continue spreading.
You know, the thing that every virus has done throughout all of recorded history.
Funny, we didn't need Pfizer to achieve these results until 2020.

Viruses are NOT guaranteed to get less deadly.
