Is there a good article explaining why antibiotic resistance and "vaccine resistance" are not the same— and in fact not that comparable because the mechanisms are different. Equating the two is really really misleading, and yet I see it everyday.

Well that’s my point. Large # of unvaccinated people = high chance of mutation. And it is partially escaping the vaccines, right? That’s how I’ve seen rise in breakthroughs framed. Are you saying that’s a function of transmissibility? policy prescription is the same anyway

The reason is that bacterial resistance in the clinic is rarely from vertically acquired mutations. Resistance to most antibiotics, most of which are natural products, is ancient and drawn from a reservoir via horizontal transfer. See “resistome”.
