In the absence of a legally enforceable vaccine mandate that does not allow for medical exemptions, no. It's more of "at your own risk."
In a broader sense, I don't think anything is actually an instance of the trolley problem. It's a pathological thought experiment that has literally no options except to kill a certain number of innocent actors who have zero agency themselves. Maybe if you have exactly one organ, two patients, and it's known that there's zero chance of another one coming available in time, but even that seems farfetched to me
- low_tech_love 5y agoI'd say "no options except to kill a certain number of innocent actors who have zero agency" is a quite accurate description of the situation. We don't know who dies, but some people will certainly die from COVID in the near future, and we know (apparently) that the vaccine does reduce that number. We also know that a very small amount of people will (or already) have adverse effects and potentially die from the vaccine; probably a much, much smaller group. So yeah... sounds accurate.
