All those countries are small aside from China whose vaccine is not very effective and people with high East Asian ancestry have natural mutations against COVID. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2818-3

You say vaccination or serious measure, which is the truth? Could a mutation not occur elsewhere and infect a densely populated area? There isn’t evidence that the places most affected were the origins of the virus mutations.

That article shows a clear correlation between 2 locations with large populations that are susceptible to high risk of severe covid and 2 of the main mutations delta (india) and alpha (uk).
