>I was thinking why one would say this without mentioning that the vaccination rate is pretty high Does that really need to be stated? I don't think even the most suspicious among us think the vaccines make a person more likely to catch Covid all else being equal. It seems more a commentary on the narrative (not promulgated by you, but it is out there) that vaccines+distancing will somehow be able to eliminate the novel coronavirus entirely.

To be honest, the only times I've seen this narrative is when people say it's out there and argue against it. I've never seen it seriously supported.

  That may be an effect of my own filter bubble at play, they do tend to bring the most insane examples of the outside belief structure to the fore. While I haven't seen anyone try to defend it, I have seen people imply they believe it's true. Would you not see this as an example of implicit belief that coronavirus can be eliminated through such measures? https://xkcd.com/2287/ https://xkcd.com/2287/
