Surrounding yourself with infected people, not social distancing, not wearing a mask, is basically exposing yourself to more and more virus. Like playing the pokies, given enough spins you eventually get a jackpot but still lose overall, the math works against you! Some get the jackpot on the first spin, others can play years and not get a single one, but if they keep playing no matter what luck they've had in the past the math says they eventually lose!
btw., That is how the pokey money laundering works, they pump megabucks through the machines knowing full well they only get 85% of every dollar they feed in returned, that's the math at work. The minimum 15% they lose is the price they happily pay for the cleaners!
Just because you may be double vaccinated, do not gullibly think you are impervious to the virus, chance your hand enough and you will lose!
If a vaccine has 85% efficacy, it doesn't mean it protects 85 of every 100 people, that's the simplistic explanation we give the kiddies. What it really means is that every time you are exposed to an infectious dose you have 85% chance of being protected, or 15% chance of getting infected, every time you are chancing your luck!
