- throwitaway1235 5y agoDeath exists and is amoral.
- wtt604 5y agoScience also exists, but I don't consider myself an expert on the morality of it, so you do what you want.
- failwhaleshark 5y agoDeath is not inevitable, and there is such thing as agency / locus-of-control Not reducing actual harm, suffering, and deaths where possible is immoral. Inconveniences are the lesser evil. We don't give people the option to opt-out of polio, mumps, rubella, etc. because their "opinion" would affect others. (Antivaxx BS exceptions notwithstanding, which led to numerous outbreaks in private boarding schools.) It's not the same as pregnancy. Informed consent doesn't work in this instance because too many people are stupid and pose liabilities to others without vaccination; informed compliance is the safer course for public health in a pandemic emergency. This is how it would've been done in the 1940's but now people are too ignorant, unreasonable, and noncompliant to be trusted to do what's essential to address a common threat. They can argue about "freedumbs" and "tyranny" after their shots.

- forcry 5y ago> Why would you not consider it? Because they don't want to hear the answer to that. Even worse, they don't want that answer to be heard. Because they probably fear that it is going to sound reasonable to a rational mind, that just ain't come up with it on its own. Someone might even ask "Why are we not helping these people?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mxqC9SiRh8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mxqC9SiRh8
