That's because the herd around you has been vaccinated. So you are OK with others getting vaccinated for your benefit but wouldn't do your part to benefit the herd. Awesome!

Maybe your post is parody. Can't really tell.

Shouldn't they be okay with getting vaccinated? They did it for their own reasons, and that's a good thing, but they're not martyrs or saints.

I never asked the herd to do anything, thus I am not in any way obliged to them morally. They did it for their own protection. I was willing to accept the 1% of dying, even if no one was vaccinated.
