Wouldn’t viruses with high virulence that cause severe disease or even death automatically reduce their own transmission because severely ill hosts are less likely to spread the virus to others?

Yes, of course they would! However, in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 (SC-2) immune escape pandemic, the concept of viral ‘virulence’ must be put into perspective as it only manifests when sustained vaccine breakthrough infections (VBTIs) eventually cause the average local concentration of virulence-inhibiting polyreactive non-neutralizing antibodies (PNNAbs) to steadily decrease in highly C-19 vaccinated populations.
