Here is a thought experiment that I would like to ponder with you guys.
Let's say the international community were to come up with a way to fully recognize freedom of choice regarding Covid vaccination.
Something like you can either get a proof of vaccination or a proof that you understood and accepted any consequences of your personal choice to not get vaccinated. Then the QR Code is the same and gives all the same access for stuff like travel. No person checking that code can ever know if you got the vaccine or if you acknowledged responsibilities instead. The only difference is if you ever find yourself in hospital in need of a respirator and there are not enough for everyone, then you already accepted this as a possible risk and cannot really complain.
I wonder if such a type of solution would be acceptable or if the ethical issues would be just as unworkable?
