I'd say that this is exactly the definition of doing it for society!

No. He's not doing it for society at large waving my hand in a large circle. He's doing it for people close to him which is a very fucking different narrative and motivation. Doesn't mean it doesn't benefit society at large waving hand in a large circle but that's not the same thing.

I don't do it for the elderly or for everyone who works in healthcare or so on though.

Not because that wouldn't be worth it but because at this point my vaccination status doesn't change anything for those.

Who do you think is in the hospital with covid? I'm glad you came to the right conclusion even with the wrong parameters though.

Around here?

Not 40ish well trained med, and particularly not double vaccinated ones.

I do this for me, my wife, my boss and my client (so I won't have to skip my duties at home or work for days).

Yes, exactly, but you'd have a higher chance of taking up a hospital bed if you weren't vaccinated, thus your status does something for hospital staff, which is what I was replying to.

Even if that wasn't your motivation, getting vaccinated is good for society as well.
