RESORTING TO VACCINE SHAMING

   On May 19, the Washington Post ran an op-ed by James Hohmann titled “Don’t Pay People To Get the Covid Vaccine. Shame Them.” The Post has changed the title of this piece to “The Moral Hazard of Vaccine Giveaways,” but I’m afraid they’ve already let their real message leak out. Besides, the original title is still in the article’s URL.
   Shame those anti-science morons who refuse to follow the government-recommended procedure of protecting themselves against a disease they are extremely unlikely to get with an emergency-use authorization vaccine that has not been tested over a significant period of time. “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” says the Washington Post masthead, as they gleefully run around unscrewing light bulbs.
   I don’t know what the long-term effects of this vaccine will be. I’d rather be safe than sorry. Does this make me selfish?
