It's interesting that the vast human intelligence that created all of these vaccines may be neutralized by vast human stupidity.

- noonespecial 13y agoIt seems like stupidity but I suspect its actually greed. If everyone else is vaccinated and there is zero latent disease in a given area, it makes sense personally not to get the vaccine. If there is indeed zero chance of contracting the disease, then any risk at all associated with the vaccine is unnecessary. Bonus points for crackpot beliefs causing misestimation of the actual risks, but the fundamental equation is unchanged. Refuse to get vaccinated? Congrats, you're the betrayer in the prisoner's dilemma. Your train stops at the tragedy of the commons.
