It’s an arms race between humans and bacteria.
On one side, bacteria have short lifecycles and huge populations, letting them mutate quickly to evade antibiotics, vaccines, or immune defenses.
On the other, humans don’t rely on slow genetic evolution - we adapt with medicine, vaccines, hygiene, and now faster tools like mRNA platforms.
The danger isn’t that we'll be "out-evolved" forever, but that we have to keep innovating or fall behind.
