Their immune system can’t eliminate the virus entirely, and so it has innumerable opportunities to mutate into a more infectious form. It has much less opportunity to do so in those who can clear it out in a few weeks, and much, much less opportunity in the vaccinated.

"Geneticists and infectious disease specialists there have uncovered potentially dangerous coronavirus mutations in a 36-year-old woman with uncontrolled HIV who was unable to shake the SARS-CoV-2 virus for close to eight months."
