"do it for your friends" means "confirm my bad decision and do something that will help neither you nor I". This is the main point of those supporting the vax. "Doing it for your friends" is evidence that they don't believe it works because if it did they would have nothing to fear themselves except the loss of your friendship when you die for foolishly rejecting the life giving vax. Do you think that is what they mean, or is it the former-that you need to confirm the decision they made? In any case I have said this many times, in the face of clear evidence that it doesn't work i.e. everybody still gets the disease it comes down to this; in their mind it is better to be wrong about something albeit with the best intentions (protect grandma!) than to be right but with the wrong intentions (wrong in this case means you don't just do something to signal your being a good person willing to sacrifice for others even if ineffective and counter-productive).

Yep, just like those CHO's and polticians flapping about 'Doing it for the greater good of the country'. Millions of people have died because they did something for the 'greater good'.
