Actually, the word you are looking for is
"rationalizing". I wouldn't recommend getting the vaccine for others----you should do it for yourself. And you are right---with any new vaccine/drug/treatment there is a SMALL risk of the unknown----but right now the risk of COVID is greater. I probably had COVID early this year. My fiancee, her sister and husband were staying with us and they all became symptomatic and tested positive. I didn't have any symptoms, and didn't get tested because a positive result wouldn't have changed anything I was doing, and I was going to get the vaccine regardless (and I did)
PS: love the picture, and there is some truth in it
