True. And that's why the vaccinated appear to be the source of new variants, because the virus isn't stopped by the vaccination but it does keep the host from experiencing symptoms. The virus keeps replicating without killing the cells and, eventually, picks enough of the spike proteins needed to finally make the host sick...a new variant.

Lt Col Mark Avery - Forbes debunked your claim way back in August 2021.

1. Variants emerged from other parts of the world, not the US
2. Their emergence was before mass vaccination, not after (Delta variant discovered in India during autumn 2020 before vaccines became available there in January 2021)
