All three of these statements are true:

1) The more people the virus spreads to, the greater the chances the virus will mutate to form new variants.

2) When the virus encounters vaccinated hosts, it gives rise to the possibility for new variants, as it adapts to survive and continue to replicate.

3) The impact of 1 above is greater than the impact of 2 above, so that if more people are vaccinated, on the aggregate, you reduce the potential for new variants to form.
