Why don't we just stop Covid by


creating our own mutation that is highly contagious and extremely dominant. But harmless to humans...

Our science is not that good.

Basically you want a virus that really is a vaccine. The current vaccines are far from perfect because apparently we don't know how to make them better. Expressing such a vaccine as a contagious virus would not better but would only create more risks.

Wasn’t that kind of meddling what got us here in the first place?

I believe, but opinions vary wildly, that doing experiments with variations of naturally occurring virii (to try to head off a future threat) is what got us into this mess in the first place.
