The only mechanism I can think of that might fit in to Dog's scenario is that a "weak" vaccine might not kill the virus, but might somehow mess up its reproductive abilities so that its children are more likely to be mutants IYKWIM.
But vaccines don't poison viruses. They stimulate the body to fight the infection. We're talking T-cells and antibodies here, not drugs. But I'm out of my depth of course.
Maybe there's some sort of parallel with people taking half a course of antibiotics, which allows the strongest strains of bacteria to out-compete the weaker ones, resulting in greater antibiotic resistance. But viruses aren't bacteria. Viruses aren't even alive by the normal definition. They have no cells, they don't respire, they can't reproduce on their own.
