‘The other type of escape mutation is from you, the unvaccinated’. Curious (not combative) escape from what? It seems micro-evolution of a virus or bacteria under pressure from the environment (like a vaccine) would mutate around it very fast - covid replicates every 10 hours and there are billions of them. In the ‘unvaccinated’, what is the pressure to get around. If you don’t understand evolution, no need to reply. If you do, then I am honestly curious.

Escape mutations can negate the effects of vaccines and lead to more infections with vaccination than without.

The paper is about modeling and simulation of virus mutation with selection from vaccines and selection by reinfection. I think you are ignoring reinfection, people with natural immune responses from their first infection.
