And I didn't say it took "benefit others", I said, it was part of the consideration. Very few things are so simple to decide. I could have self-isolated. In fact, part of my consideration was if there were others that needed the vaccine more than me, my own PCP for instance is certainly more at risk than I would be, then I have self-isolated until more vaccinations were available. But, she felt it important for me to be moved to the top of the list because I had just had major abdominal surgery. So, I did what she said to do.

“My decision to get vaccinated was also motivated by my concern that I did not want to be the cause of anyone else getting the virus and dying, even if I got it and survived.”
That certainly sounds like a “to benefit others” reason. I was just surprised that your medical condition alone wasn’t enough for you to get vaccinated. Or, did you decide to get vaccinated as soon as it was available, for your health, and the “benefit of others” comment was meant as a shallow attempt to shame me for choosing not to get vaccinated….
