The latter is the case here. Your hypothesis that it is more that the extraterrestrials are introducing much higher concentrations of this mutant strain of virus to infect their human victims than was the case during the first months of the pandemic with the original virus, is why the case numbers for the mutant strains are growing faster than what happened historically with the original strain, and this will also offset the benefits of vaccination to some extent due to the larger exposure. The benefit of vaccination is not absolute and total no matter what. It is always a level of resistance that can be overcome if there is a sufficient viral load to overwhelm the immune defenses and get enough virus growing within the body to cause injury and symptoms. So people can still become sick and even die who have been vaccinated, given enough virus in their system—that does not mean vaccination is pointless, it only describes the dynamics.
You can be sure that with no vaccination, someone exposed to a very high concentration of one of the mutant strains or even the original virus would likely have a quite severe illness without divine intervention, or an effective immunization to lower the consequences through protecting the individual from the effects of the viral onslaught. So even not perfect nor a guarantee of remaining symptom-free, it is a blessing to have reduced severity compared to death—that is a fine outcome indeed from being vaccinated, even with other potential liabilities and risks, because the side effects are much less frequent than the incidence of illness and even death from infection.
