Should you get the vaccine if you’re eligible but you feel you aren’t high-risk enough? Medical ethicists unequivocally told me yes, citing a number of reasons. My latest for @nytimes:https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/21/opinion/covid-vaccine-ethics.html?referringSource=articleShare …

You get inane machismo like people saying "I'm happy to take the risk to get infected so I can do my job and earn a living", which is total nonsense -- you CANNOT personally "take the risk", any risk you take gets transmitted to the population as a whole

Same with the macho denialists shaming people for taking extra precautions -- "Oh, you're so selfishly scared for your own skin you're hiding in a basement for a year" No, I'm not *selfishly* scared, because if I get infected I INCREASE THE RISK LEVEL FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD
