Sandro, I would like to hear your thoughts on the vaccine angle of all of this. The social, political and historical influences on vaccine trust and mistrust before COVID, how COVID has impacted all of it, and is there anything specific we should be considering so we can get enough of the population vaccinated.
1) How much do you think the finger-wagging on social media actually shapes the messaging people hear? Meaning how much of the moralism is simply within the echo-chamber of public health?
2) Do you feel like your arguments about moralism applies to policymakers, as well? It may be true that shame is a dreadful tool to inform individual public health decision making, but what about public servants? Shame is a better tool to drive policy choices—and policy informs the structural circumstances in which individual decisions get made.

Thanks for these really thoughtful arguments.
Few quirks I’d ask:

2) Do you feel like your arguments about moralism applies to policymakers, as well?

Once in a while, we get to read a thought provoking piece. Thank you.
