In general terms, I would need the society at large to get off the moral high horse and engage in an honest cost/benefit analysis of all covid measures.

Isn't it hypocritical that people accuse the young not taking the vaccine of being selfish, while hoarding the vaccines away from vulnerable people in poorer parts of the world?

It can only hypocritical if it is the same people making both arguments.


Yes, that is absolutely hypocritical and we should continue to pressure the western world to distribute more vaccine globally before giving booster shots to their own citizens.

That said, I'm absolutely getting _my_ booster as soon as I'm eligible. That isn't hypocritical; at that point the decision was made and if I don't take the booster it won't be sent to sub-Saharan Africa.
