One female participant in the ad encourages her friend to get the jab “to protect the strangers.” Another participant asks his boyfriend to imagine “being the person that goes to somebody’s house and gives them a virus that kills them.” Such guilt-tripping and fear-mongering is common in the Covid era, but the shots clearly don’t prevent infection and therefore do not prevent transmission, as evidenced by massive post-vaccination waves of Covid infections and hospitalizations.
Besides, believing someone is morally responsible any time they unknowingly pass on a disease that might kill someone is psychologically crippling. Who could bear to leave their home under the burden of ensuring they never spread such a highly contagious virus? This kind of thinking deserves no place in a so-called “PSA.”
