Omicron, which is incredibly infectious, came along after the vaccines did, ergo the infection rate went up after the vaccines were introduced. The two factors have nothing to do with each other though.

You're saying there is no chance that the vaccine facilitated the evolution of the variants (you know, like how not completing a round of antibiotics can foment evolution)?

Both Delta and Omicron came from severely and notoriously undervaccinated countries. They’re prime examples as to why we need first world countries to help with equitable access to vaccines everywhere.

Unmitigated spread accelerates evolution. Mitigating the spread slows it down.
