If you've gotten the COVID-19 vaccine, do you feel guilty about it? Do you feel the urge to explain to others why you were eligible?
The chaotic vaccine distribution happening across the country has elicited strong feelings about who should be getting the vaccine now and who should be waiting their turn. Some people are even hiding the fact that they're vaccinated to avoid conflict.

Guests:
Carleigh Krubiner is a policy fellow at the Center for Global Development in Washington, D.C., where she focuses on ethical issues surrounding equitable development and delivery of health care.
