Doesn't even begin to make logical sense. Being vaccinated is supposed to protect you from those who might pass it to you. If it doesn't, it's worthless. Furthermore, its the vaccinated who are the variant factories. A virus doesn't need to make variants in the bodies of unvaccinated people because, in theory, they have no defense against the seminal version.
That right there is bullshyt. Viruses can and do mutate in anyone infected. Viruses do not have intelligence so it's not like they say to themselves "oh shyt, these folks are vaccinated so I need to mutate to overcome it" . The latest variant of concern, the Mu variant came out of South Africa where very few are vaccinated and Delta originated in India which also has a very low vaccination rate comparatively.
