For viral diseases, especially coronavirises. Source for the explanation of the myth/urban legend?
Immune system escape can occur, usually in adults, but generally not in children because their immune systems are young and not 'trained' so do a great general response effort.
Vaccines force a targeting of the immune system (e.g. particular spike proteins) that specifically leads to escape, as we're seeing with the vaccines being not only mostly useless, but potentially worse for Omicron.
Per capita not wrong, just not everywhere yet. Example:
