When I tell you that I received the Covid-19 vaccine last month, I am guessing it will not surprise you. If you were to search for me online, the results might be what you already expected for a Harvard-trained psychologist—employer profiles and scientific papers with technical titles. I grew up in a community of doctors and highly educated professionals, attended good schools surrounded by supportive adults and went on to higher education. So you might think that I am exactly the type of person who would be excited about vaccines; that of course #ITrustScience. And you would be right.
