Avoiding mask shortages is a noble goal (note that you're agreeing with me here -- mass-producing masks would also have avoided shortages). Whether or not the method employed was ethical or not is a separate question (and I agree with you that it was not because of how short-sighted it was).

- catalogia 7y agoTo say that somebody had a "noble goal" is to state that their intentions were good, not malicious. That is not the same as being correct.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
