So the belief that turning down a vaccination or waiting to get it will somehow benefit society “I think it is just outright false,” Dr. Ferguson said. There’s a “delusion of moral purity and keeping one’s hands clean that’s at work when people are tempted to do that.”
If you turn down a vaccination based on the belief that you’re not particularly high risk, you might also be fooling yourself.
