Thoroughly enjoyed it. His framing has been correct all along though; that you aren't "brave" not taking the vaccine, and a "coward" for taking it. You respond to what you perceive as the greatest threat. There's no bravery choosing the thing that is the lesser threat. Being afraid of the vaccine doesn't make you brave. Being afraid of Covid and taking the vaccine doesn't make you brave.

Not the best ever, as the one on "fairness" was the best ever. It's the best because it challenged my held beliefs most convincingly.

"Best" isn't something that agrees with your perspective, it's successfully challenging it.
