Abstract

Vaccine refusal is not a free rider problem. The claim that vaccine refusers are free riders is inconsistent with the beliefs and motivations of most vaccine refusers. This claim also inaccurately depicts the relationship between an individual’s immunization choice, their ability to enjoy the benefits of community protection, and the costs and benefits that individuals experience from immunization and community protection. Modeling vaccine refusers as free riders also likely distorts the ethical analysis of vaccine refusal and may lead to unsuccessful policy interventions.

拒绝接种疫苗不是搭便车

拒绝接种疫苗不是一个搭便车的问题。疫苗拒绝者是搭便车的说法与大多数疫苗拒绝者的信念和动机不一致。这种说法也不准确地描述了个人的免疫选择、他们享受社区保护好处的能力以及个人从免疫和社区保护中获得的成本和好处之间的关系。将疫苗拒绝者建模为搭便车也可能扭曲对疫苗拒绝的伦理分析，并可能导致政策干预的失败。
