Everyone just ignored it and it is a very valid point. It is easy to say what you do when it is affecting others, but when something happens to you or someone you care about, it becomes the perverbial double standard.
It is a goddamm valid point because it can apply to so many situations. (These were all made up but can be based on truth).
Should we build a bridge that links these two cities so it helps out a lot more people? Wait a second, I'm a hobo living under the bridge! You can't do that!
Hey let's build that Wal-Mart over there! I doubt people will complain about our child labor since so many people will get cheap prices!
Hey let's start another company that makes Chicken McNuggets at a much cheaper price! Only thing is, the chicken are now pumped with 301513095 more antibiotics and painkillers and live in 3x3 inch cubes! It doesn't matter because people won't complain about the cheap prices, and they're animals!
Hey man I'm going to goddamm sacrifice my goddamm life to frigging stop 9/11. Wait, you can't do that! Your parents will be outraged and upset because if you had not done that your child would still be alive? This is how I look at it because I do have children.
There's a fine line between what's good for the "greater good" and "personal good." I believe vaccines fall under "the greater good" because the risk of death is incredibly low.
