It's not rhetoric. You're talking about massive mutations in a specific direction with a specific outcome. The odds are beyond astronomical.
And there is still the plain fact that there is a tradeoff between transmissibility and lethality.

How are we two years into this thing and people are still banking on 100% vaccination as if that were a viable strategy, instead of putting some resources into effective treatment of the disease? (No, sticking people in the ICU and letting them fight the virus on their own is not an effective treatment.)
