Mutant coronaviruses can make vaccines less effective. At the same time, vaccines can contribute to virus mutations, but this is a slow process that should be manageable.

Even students who reject evolution are often willing to consider cases in which evolutionary biology contributes to, or undermines, biomedical interventions. Moreover the intersection of evolutionary biology and biomedicine is fascinating in its own right. ...

Not that I would expect retards would research anything on their own.
When the footnote becomes main theme? This is where you cherry pick or misinterpret science but refuse to follow the advice of the very people you quoted.
The conclusions, literally the last paragraphs:
“Any virus is going to try to keep changing, so it can continue to spread. For COVID-19, that means we’ll likely see more new variants. That’s natural and expected. Don’t be too worried about it, the vaccine should help keep us safe. But, that’s why it’s so important for experts to work together around the world to track the COVID-19 variants. It’s also important for you to continue doing your part by getting the COVID-19 vaccine,” Dr. Best says.
"HARRIS: Bieniasz says, to slow this evolutionary process as much as possible, it's important to slow the spread of the virus right now so people who get vaccinated are at lower risk for getting infected in the first place."
It's a call to arms and to stop the lollygagging and outright nonconformity. No free lunches but they can be affordable if you follow the rules and follow the advice.
So far, the early more lethal variants have originated Britain, South Africa, India and Brazil before the vax was available in those areas until we got this new US variant that, surprisingly, originated in a low vaxed areas. I am not disputing what you posted but you need to take all info in context and when you point to an expert opinion as fact, you should also follow their informed recommendations.
Proliferation is a far greater threat for variant that is the vaccine. The mechanism is similar and to acknowledge that is good science. Your immune system responds and if you don't conquer it quickly, you will generate more mutations. The British variant is thought to have come from a critical patient that hung on for an extended period due to repeated life saving measures. The mechanism is effectively the same but 2 important aspects are missed here. If you have the vaccine or a previous bout of Covid, your prognosis is pretty great if you get infected and the transmitted viral load generally lower and for some effectively nil.
To say the vax could spurn variants like the disease does is nothing close to a good reason to sit on your hands. It's a virus, they mutate but having antibodies to an earlier version tends to offer some protection from future ones, just like the flu. The idea is to slow the proliferation in general to prevent more variants and the vaccine is actually a great tool for that. Why both articles strongly recommended getting it.
You just posted 2 articles that gave good reason for the vax with strong recommendations to do so yet are trying to twist science to your will. Doesn't work that way. They are smart people when they tell you about viral propagation and they continue to be smart when they tell you the best way to counter it.
