Finding a safe and efficacious vaccine is the most compassionate route of exit, compared to natural infection leading to unwanted fatalities of the most susceptible. As a result, vaccine acceptance might be looked on as one form of obeying the Second Great Commandment: Love thy neighbor as thyself. |
