TSJ Interlude - A Stoic Perspective on Vaccination

The Stoic Jew

I recorded this episode yesterday morning, in anticipation of getting the first dose of my COVID-19 vaccine. It's a few minutes longer than the usual episode, but that's because it covers three texts: one from Marcus Aurelius, one from Epictetus, and one from Seneca.
----------
The sources cited in today's episode are too long to cite in their entirety. Here are links to each text:
- Aurelius – Meditations 5:8
- Epictetus – Discourses 2:17: How We Must Adapt Preconceptions to Particular Cases
- Seneca – Letter #50: On Our Blindness and Its Cure
- Rambam – Introduction to the Mishnah
