They have an extensive list of peer reviewed studies from plenty of other scientists:

Go read all those papers, none of them support the claims that the vaccination accelerates or causes mutation.
It's unfortunate scientists love to stake a claim on trying to win a huge argument when they can't see the forrest from the trees and they exclude as much evidence as they cherry pick.
We've defeated things before with immunization. No one ran around saying get the whooping caugh because if you get a shot it will mutate...

Says who? Vanden Bossche has been a credentialed expert in vaccines for 20 years. I'll take his opinion over some HN comment.

That was never his argument.
Stress doesn't cause mutations. Mutations happen because of genetics and whatever mutations increase their suvival end up being the mutations prevelent in society.
What viruses need though are willing hosts who aren't vaccinated who carry the virus, allow it to thrive and mutate and more importantly - those who spread it.
Blaming vaccinations is like blaming immune systems when the real issue is people who carry the disease and allow it to continue to spread.
