I think you're being petty.
So noting that using privilege is unethical is petty? I really, really didn't expect that from you, honor.
That was in reference to this ongoing argument over it being unethical and worthy of outrage. Taken as a whole it seems pretty normal use of influential people to be influential. It's gone the rounds and at this point, yeah, it doesn't seem to rise above a rather petty level of complaint given the discussion. I guess that's my honest take, meant as a straight answer to people I respect. It just seems out of scale to the bigger issue of fighting the pandemic which their getting the shot publicly helps.

Geez honor. Quit being so petty. This "publicly helps." /s

That seems to be the difference. In my neck of the woods, "influential people" are arguing for a better distribution of the vaccines, not just bowing to popularity. in my opinion, it is a far more ethical position to take.

To be clear, if Dehlin were >70 or in a high risk group (other than obesity), it wouldn't be notable.

Likewise, if LDS leaders were not in high-risk groups and were getting vaccinated, it would be notable.

But ultimately, it's great if anyone gets vaccinated.

I'm thinking John, along with Consiglieri and Bill Reel would be eligible by virtue of being the First Presidency of Ex-Mormonism.

Medical? I think psychology would be considered essential? I dunno. Just a guess.

Does it make a difference if Dehlin is not currently seeing "patients"...?
