Yeah you know maybe the Covid-fretters are right, if we’re not gonna beat this with conscious intervention but by the classic organic strategy of coevolving with it, that kinda is eugenics, in a way much more so than things that usually get called that with no mechanism to improve future generations: through repeated waves of infection that disproportionally kill the vulnerable and foreclose further reproduction of genelines that give rise to those vulnerabilities, while disproportionately sparing those with genetically encoded resistance (and leaving them with a larger share of resources that can contribute to reproductive success in the absence of the first group) until after a millennia or so whole-population humanity shrugs it off
