Vaccination isn't only for yourself, it has demonstrable benefits for the community as well.
Even at the macro level -- if you were not vaccinated, and contracted COVID-19, and later on passed it on to your parents or other elderly people, that is something entirely preventable.

- MisterBastahrd 6y agoWe wouldn't be having a herd immunity discussion at all if people were rational and got the vaccine when it was made available.
- loveistheanswer 6y agoScientifically speaking, that's not true >herd immunity: resistance to the spread of an infectious disease within a population that is based on pre-existing immunity of a high proportion of individuals as a result of previous infection or vaccination.
