Just like with torrents.... There is this ethos online that if you torrent you should seed and not just leach of everyone else. I don't seed. Why expose myself to the extra risk when I get nothing out of it?
There's this concept in the social sciences known as the free rider problem. I am the free rider  |
What bothers me is that you're definitely not the only selfish bastard, and that with all the other selfish bastards, the straight up antivaxxers, and hopeless cases like norg, we won't have herd immunity at all and this ordeal will continue. Be bothered for once.
