Browsing any infected website, HTTPS or otherwise, may give you a virus.

Right, but if it's HTTPS, only the website can give you a virus. If it's HTTP, the website can give you a virus, plus the owner of any network device your requests traveled through on the way to and from the website. That's often a lot of owners.
