"Vaccines cause variants!"
Nope.

You disagree? Facts, please, not the sad, inane, internet hearsay spotlighted in these links - and that you are just regurgitating.
Reuters? Try peer reviewed:

And the CDC:
https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0730-mmwr-covid-19.html
The CDC has disclosed that the delta variant replicates more quickly in the nose than previous variants, meaning that it spreads through vaccinated hosts before the majority of the immune response (which mainly occurs in the lungs / CV system) is triggered. Based on this, they admit (they head of the CDC said this on CNN) that the vaccines reduce the severity of Covid, but don't prevent infection. Previous research has shown for other viruses : "Our data show that anti-disease vaccines that do not prevent transmission can create conditions that promote the emergence of pathogen strains that cause more severe disease in unvaccinated hosts."
So vaccines that allow reproduction and/or continued transmission may very well create new strains. So you are wrong.
Sigh.
You haven't really read everything through, did you?
And, honestly, I'm starting to be tired to read links for people who just post them.
"Mom, can you read me 'Snow White and the Rocket Launcher'?" should belong to children. Maybe it is.
Anyway...
I post a link about how "Vaccines do not create variants." That's the point of the link.
And you answer with links that say:
"Imperfect Vaccination Can Enhance the Transmission of Highly Virulent Pathogens" from 2015.
I mean... it is in the title! "Imperfect Vaccination"!
Who ever talked of "imperfect vaccinations" regarding Covid? Have you read the definition of "Imperfect Vaccination" given in the study? Does it apply to the current batch of vaccines? Answer:
until proven otherwise, no. It is possible that a case could be made for the Chinese and Russian vaccines - not about what we are talking here. Also, you go against what is being observed out the practical experience born out a global pandemic, with
billions of test cases observed over months... with a 2015 study who is the very first to admit that such expectation is only theoretical?
Then you fire your CDC link. A link with a very simple content, actually. It says:
"Delta infection resulted in similarly high SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in vaccinated and unvaccinated people. High viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission and raised concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus."Nowhere it says that "The Delta Variant was created by vaccines". More, the very text you linked says that being vaccinated still protects against all other variants and that you can't transmit them - which is still better than nothing.
[Which is one of the reasons why I think that a third shot will be mandatory]
The CDC, however, never pulled down this:
COVID-19 variants do not derive from the vaccine. The vaccine cannot replicate the virus. Guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) explaining how mRNA vaccines only provide instructions to the cells in the human body on how to make a “spike protein” is visible here .https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/different-vaccines/mrna.htmlUff...
Let's close with a small gem from a "Owner of the Truth":
You produce bullshit from "fact checkers" in earnest and expect me to take you seriously?
Bullshit? Cite. Counter-Facts? Links?
Either that or you are just in denial of
everything that goes against the world view that you have decided for everybody - which is very SJW and "Tolkien was a Transgender!", but has nothing to do with a real and serious problem like a pandemic.
