Gladys Berejiklian assumes the probability of catching COVID in NSW is 100%. She tells the people of NSW that they must assume that the minute they step out of their front door, they can catch it.

Meanwhile, Berejiklian received her first AZ jab in March, her second in June. It now almost three months since she would have been considered fully jabbed,  within which time the level of antibodies in her blood may well have fallen by 50% or more: 

Total antibody levels produced by both Pfizer and AstraZeneca appear to start declining from as early as six weeks after two vaccine doses and can reduce by more than 50 per cent over 10 weeks, according to a new study stressing the need for booster doses.
The study, led by researchers of the University College London, showed that the waning effect of the vaccine doses were consistent across all groups of people regardless of age, chronic illnesses or sex.

Published as a research letter in The Lancet, the study included data from over 600 people and showed antibody levels are substantially higher following two doses of the Pfizer vaccine than after two doses of the AstraZeneca jab.

By her own estimate of the probability of catching COVID, Berejiklian has a 100% chance of catching COVID while her level of antibodies are likely to be between 0-50%. Her increasingly combative press conferences may well be signs of her struggles dealing with the pressures of politics while fighting a COVID infection.

She should submit herself to an antibody audit, and make the results public.
