We\u2019ve got to start praising people who do the right thing. Not saying, well, there\u2019s a tradeoff of values. Some people are going to help their neighbor[,] orient toward the community, try to protect one another. And then there are going to be jerks who aren\u2019t going to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s get the equation straight. And people may be thinking, well, so what? What difference does it make where we put a moral emphasis? It makes a lot of difference,\u201d Caplan continued. \u201cShame, guilt, calling people out when they\u2019re not doing the right thing. I don\u2019t see moral equivalency if you\u2019re not doing the right thing by getting vaccinated, by trying to get tested when you can find the tests, by trying to take precautions when you\u2019re around the weak and the vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to be talking about COVID this time next year if we don\u2019t get more people to do the right thing,\u201d he later added. \u201cSo we can\u2019t write them off. We can penalize them more. We can say, you\u2019re going to pay more on your hospital bill if you weren\u2019t vaccinated. You can\u2019t get life insurance or disability insurance at affordable rates if you aren\u2019t vaccinated. Those companies should not treat us as equals in terms of what the financial burdens are that that disease imposes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>JOHN BERMAN, CNN HOST: So two years into the deadly pandemic, and just 62 percent of Americans are vaccinated. And the number of the newly infected is shooting up yet again, shattering even more records as the Omicron variant grips the nation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So how much should the vaccinated keep changing their lives, turning their lives upside-down to protect those who have decided to forego the vaccine?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Let\u2019s bring in Professor Arthur Caplan.
