Vaccines Are Pushing Pathogens to Evolve | Quanta Magazine

Editor’s note, added Dec. 6, 2021: This article from 2018 discusses how leaky vaccines — vaccines that do not reduce viral replication or transmission to others — can drive the pathogens they target to evolve and become more virulent.

The more people who are vaccinated against COVID-19, the less likely it is that dangerous variants will evolve.

I see 2018 now..The whole premise of the article is corrected by an Editors later corrected note.
