In short:
"Say, for example, it's a one in a million chance that a mutation will be advantageous to the virus.

If you let the virus replicate itself 900,000 times, odds are that the advantageous mutation will occur," [...]

"But if you limit the overall replication of the virus to 1,000 times, then it's much less likely that the random advantageous mutation is going to occur.

And that's where public health interventions really help us a lot during this pandemic—by reducing the total amount of virus replication and therefore reducing the chances that the virus can improve or adapt."

It is about keeping the overall numbers of the virus down, at the same time preventing its reproduction an mutation. Which we did with smallpox as with Polio.
More Blue anon conspiracy theory and the Covidian Cult rubbish that thinks small pox and polio can be compared to a sars-cov virus. FYI they can’t, try again and stop comparing the Covid-19 vaccine with the Polio vaccine, we can’t place them in the same category for a simple reason the Covid-19 vaccine is only effective at reducing the transmission and spread of the disease, not eliminating it.

People who’ve received a Covid-19 vaccine can still pass on the infection to others. The Covidian Cult alway fail to make that distinction.

While it’s true that the widespread vaccination rates contributed to the eradication of Polio disease, the effectiveness of the Polio vaccine itself had played a key role in eradicating Polio globally. Polio vaccine provides lifelong immunity whereas the Covid-19 vaccine gives only several months of protection.
