MIQ Worker Vaccinated. Still Gets COVID?

Vaccinated MIQ worker still getting the COVID, why?

Probably Offsetting Behaviour. Dude told by govt he was special and deserved to be first to get the special jabs. Frontline worker. At risk. Little bit afraid and his family afraid too.

Ah, vaccinated! Special. Relief. Now he was not afraid of the big bad virus. Had the bullet-proof virus now. The holy grail the world sought and has handed to him, its champion!

Nothing can touch him now! Discards PPE and imagines he is bullet proof. Strides about the infected and perhaps even smooching some of them. Hugs. Liberty. Risk premium zero!

Economists call this Offsetting Behavior. We take big risks because we think some other factor or person has our backs. Eg. We drive *less* carefully because we have a seatbelt and high safety rating!

Vaccine propaganda done more harm than good by making out it’s the savior of mankind. Or, that mankind needed saving..

Ref. Offsetting Behavior is a real economic effect. We learned about it in Public Choice Economics. Read more by running a Google search. Useful way to think about the world, clears up a lot of things.
