Not all vaccines prevent infection. Some, known as leaky vaccines, prolong host survival or reduce disease symptoms without preventing viral replication and transmission.
Like the new Sars-CoV-2 vaccines.
Disease interventions that aim to prevent disease symptoms without preventing transmission can have dangerous evolutionary consequences and need to be considered in cases with imperfect vaccines.
By using a non-sterilizing Sars-CoV-2 vaccines, that still allow for viral infection and transmission, we are selecting for mutations not killed by the vaccine antibodies. Thus starts the great arms race. This is so fucked up.
