Set a price high enough that this becomes clearly a good thing: what about $25k/person, spent directly on vaccines for others? I've been thinking about the whole "public vaccination" virtue signaling that politicians have been doing. The most ethical path would be to be immunized publicly as a politician at the same time as your risk group rather than before, ideally as the last person in your risk group so you have skin in the game. Whoever is overseeing the vaccine program should go last, for skin in the game.

That's not virtue signaling, or not ONLY virtue signaling - they get priority due to continuity of government laws.

Now if they had integrity, the ones that dismissed, downplayed, ignored, refused to wear masks, etc. should have skipped their dose and given it to someone else. >immunized publicly as a politician at the same time as your risk group That would be nice except Congress is fairly old, average age is 57.6 in the House and 62.9 in the Senate. Not sure there are enough available doses for this to occur.
