Many of the variants existed before the vaccines, so NOPE! 🤣
Thats a fundamental misunderstanding of how the biology works. You could argue that vaccines helped put environmental pressures to help omicron, but first versions likely developed absent a vaccine prevalent in the local environment. Not enough people took the vaccine to make that case, imo...
That said, I'm not aware of anyone who has done that analysis but I would be interested in reading it. #[2]
