One of the problems with antibiotics is that unless the antibiotic agent kills the target bacteria, the weakened bacteria can be left to develop an immunity to the antibiotic.
The Covid mRNA vaccines do not try to kill the virus themselves.
Rather, they "train" the body's immune system to recognize the COVID virus and destroy it.
Is it possible that virii not killed by the body might mutate and spread? Yes.
But that is not the fault of the vaccine, but due to the efficiency (or lack thereof) of the immune system.
The same result can occur in unvaccinated people who become infected with a particular strain of the virus and then recover;
Their bodies could incubate, and then spread, mutations of surviving examples of the virus they survived.

thank you for your explanation
The same study posits that immune imprinting may be contributing to the viral evolution. Vaccines do a good job of training the immune system to remember and knock out the original Wuhan variant. But when new and markedly different strains come along, the immune system responds less effectively.
Growing evidence also suggests that repeated vaccinations may make people more susceptible to XBB and could be fueling the virus’s rapid evolution.
