The virus doesn't target hosts, it isn't that smart. An infected person exhales, coughs or sneezes viral particles. The unsuspecting host(s), vaccinated or nonvaccinated, snorts up a load of virus particles. These virus particles use their spike protein to break into cells, usually in the nose and combine with with proteins in the cells so they can replicated in about 8 to 12 hours producing's many thousands of viral particles which breakout of the cells and attack more cells so it can continue to replicate. All of the above occurs regardless of vaccination status. However what occurs next doesn't. The protection of those vaccinated and previously infected allows the body to rapidly produce antibodies that destroy the viral particles. For the unvaccinated and those not previously infected, they go through a rather long process taking days for the body to determine how to fight the virus. During this time the virus will have replicated dozens of times more produce large numbers of viral particles which typically makes the host very ill. In short, the protection from vaccines or natural immunity allows the body to fight off the virus before it becomes a very serious threat.It is interesting how pro covid vaxxers are so quick to point out that variants can’t specifically target a vaccinated person over an unvaccinated person because that’s just not how viruses work, yet you will never catch a pro vaxxer admitting that variants can't target an unvaccinated person either. At least CDC director Rochelle Walensky admitted that "what they can't do anymore is prevent transmission." On that note, the first sentence of your article does say: "A virus cannot target a specific person regardless of vaccination status."
