Russian intellectual - Anatoly Wassermann said an interesting phrase regarding COVID. I won’t quote the whole thing, but the main point is: for the society to overcome COVID - it is necessary to take a vaccine for everyone(except for those who can’t), on an individual level - people should be able to choose whether they want to take a vaccine or not.  But in Wassermann’s set of values - society takes precedence over individual personality, since a distinct personality may not exist without society.
