infectious disease is probably the best case for this kind of "socialism".

even from a completely selfish and egoistic perspective, i personally benefit from everyone else getting vaccinated.

i'm basically trapped in my house now until the virus is under control, and getting *other people* vaccinated is a huge part of achieving that, thereby reopening the whole world for me.

it's not like feeding the hungry, which requires some minimal sense of humanity to approve of. vaccinating people during a pandemic should get the support even from completely selfish people. but of course, republicans will find a way to object to this sort of thing here in america....
