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 …

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

Everyone's collective goal re: the vaccine should be to get as many total people vaccinated in as short a time as possible, period Which means that if you have a dose of vaccine within reach, you should get the person vaccinated you have the most power to get vaccinated -- you

right, people imagine if they're low-risk for death/serious illness, then if they get infected they're taking a viral bullet that could otherwise hit someone higher-risk But getting infected just manufactures more bullets
