Marine and the Hippie 210807 S01E23- Do We Have Civic Responsibility?

The Marine and the Hippie

In this dialogue, we discuss the concept of civic responsibility. As we discuss the topic, COVID-19 is resurging in many places dominated by the unvaccinated, and the continued existence of large populations of willfully, and militantly unvaccinated, puts the rest of us, even the vaccinated, but most especially those who are not allowed, for whatever reason to get a vaccine, at grave risk. At what point, we inquire, do people lose the right to make personal choices, such as the pigheaded refusal to get vaccinated, in the name of a greater social good? This question has larger implications, of course, for many personal choice in public space issues as well: At what point do we owe a duty to our society which supersedes our own fear, hesitation, or just outright impetuousness, obstinacy, and cruel disregard for the health and safety of others?
