As far as I understand (I don't have any background in biology), mutations will happen regardless of whether people are vaccinated or not. There might be mutations that make the virus circumvent some vaccine protections, but those mutations would take place even if we weren't vaccinating people. Nothing about the vaccines "guides" the virus towards specific mutations. Mutations are random. If this is correct, why would not vaccinating people be better than vaccinating them? (In fact, the fewer people that get infected, the less room for the virus to mutate).
Is my understanding correct? Can anybody point out where I'm wrong?
