Much better to get vaccinated and then get COVID by licking doorknobs and risk death or crippling medical problems than to just get vaccinated more often I guess?

Yeah, cause everyone I know that got COVID contracted it from licking door knobs...

Oh, just the ones who think it's better to get COVID than a vaccine.

It's not COVID or the vaccine. It's X number of vaccines and COVID. It's not "will I get COVID", it's "when will I get COVID".

Were you under the impression that the results of this study only applied to people that got COVID on purpose?

So now you need to lick doorknobs to catch covid? Simply breathing within 6ft of someone infected will no longer do?

actually licking a surface will not get you sick with covid. Research has found that particles on surfaces won't get you sick because ingesting covid orally doesn't carry it into the right receptor cells to enter and infect the body. Instead, you swallow it and the stomach acids destroy the virus and you don't get infected.

You have to inhale the virus as it is suspended in the air in microdroplet/aerosol form. This deposits the virus along the lining of your lungs where the ACE2 receptor sites bind with the protein spikes on the virus and this allows the virus to deliver the payload of RNA inside the host cell to incubate and grow and form more covid viruses.
