How to use transmissible in a sentence?

1. Steven Quay:

   These gene jockeys have put in a furin site into a virus that didn't have one in the laboratory, eleven out of 11 times it makes it more effective, more transmissible, more lethal -- all the bad things you'd want. So if you want to juice up a virus and make it more infective or make it go from bats to humans, putting in a furin cleavage site is a great idea.

2. Marc Siegel:

   The reason that the delta variant is winning out is because of how transmissible [it is], it’s not like some deadly version of this is going to compete and beat out the delta variant; the only thing that could take over from the delta variant is one that’s more contagious...I don’t see this changing enough so it suddenly reinfects everybody that's already had it, and eludes the vaccine.

3. Peter Hotez:

   This is by far the king of transmissible Covid viruses. And Texas Children're seeing unprecedented numbers of kids getting infected and going into children's hospitals.

4. Simon Clarke:

   When a virus is swilling around the population, it can mutate, every time it replicates( infects) there is the possibility of a mutation. While most of those are neutral or even damage the virus, every so often a mutation gives the virus a' fitness advantage,' which makes it more transmissible. Bluntly, the more people with a second dose, the less this thing can mutate in dangerous ways.

5. The FDA:

   Additionally, peer-reviewed data from multiple laboratories indicate that a booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine greatly improves an individual’s antibody response to be able to counter the omicron variant, authorizing booster vaccination to take place at five months rather than six months may therefore provide better protection sooner for individuals against the highly transmissible omicron variant.
