One would respond, 'you can't make this stuff up' (especially when statistics are quoted), but apparently you can!
Like let’s see how it plays out in nature
Suppose there’s 2 viruses and they each have different vaccines but both viruses require 2 shots of the same vaccine for full Protection
Due to limited vaccinations available you can only get 2 total shots but can choose which ones
If you get 1 shot of virus 1 say you’re 52% protected but if you get 2 shots of virus 1 you are 95% protected
If you get 1 shot of virus 2 say you’re 60% protected but if you get 2 shots of virus 2 you are 95% protected
If you get the 2 shots of Virus 1 you are now 0% protected from virus 2 so if exposed to one you don’t know which it’s not even 50% chance you won’t get sick
If you just get 1 shot of each virus and screw getting 2nd shots you are better off as you have greater than 50% chance of being ok. Diminishing returns of same shot more than a threshold ...a little goes a long way

May I inquire who would want the virus?
I'll choose
C: the vaccine.
I worked in the private sector for 30 years then I retired and went to work for the federal government for 4 years. I had the misperception that the fed workers were the best and smartest but what I found was that the federal government only required 50% effort.
The way I know that the federal government had the smartest and the hardest working was they constantly told me that, but when I was in my private sector job and we hired a former government employee they only lasted lest then a year. Their complaint was that we were asking to much of them.
If we hired any one that only gave 50% effort they would get fired within 90 days, I saw it happen by the hundreds.
