Other than eliminating it completely is there any other way to stop a virus from mutating? What would it take to do so?

    Mutations make less deadly....why would we stop it. 

    Delta (India) is more contagious but less deadly.
    India has controlled it with ivermectin.

    I heard exactly the opposite. MORE DEADLY. Mutations lengthen the suffering. WHY WOULD YOU NOT WANT TO STOP IT for goodness sakes?  Thanks

    Media are fearmongers. 

    Again India has used ivermectin to vertically eliiminate it.

    To stop a virus mutating we must take action to limit its ability to reproduce. To do that, it is necessary for most people to become vaccinated.

    We have herd immunity.  If a person had the disease...they do not need the vaccine.

    "Herd immunity" is dependent either on people getting vaccinated against the disease in question, or on people surviving the disease in question.

    Indeed, surviving a disease normally gives (slightly / maybe significantly) better immunity compared with any vaccination for that disease.

    In order to gain that immunity one must first survive the disease and then also consider (if it were it possible) letting us have a list of the people to whom they passed the disease while unvaccinated, and of those how many died).

    There probably is no way to stop a virus from mutating.

    Although it is non-sentient and in a sort of twilight between life and just a chemical smudge, it is doing what all living things are programmed to do: adapting its species for its best chances of survival in the conditions it faces.
