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?
It is unworkable, because it's more about politics and appearances than actual 'solutions' or 'compromises'. A true solution would not even have to be 'loaded' such as this is, it would be obvious and 'Loving' in its core function.
What would a true solution look like then? I am pondering how each "side" sees the other and trying to see what shape a solution would have. I know that a lot of people are starting to simply push for mandatory vaccination because of fear of the unvaccinated. And I also know that many do not even believe the virus exists.
So how do we bridge such a gap in perception? Since All Is Well, this bridge exists and all we need to do is perceive it so we can manifest it.
As long as their has been humans there has been plagues and illnesses. This is nothing new. What is new is that those who fear the virus, have a means of protecting themselves.
If the vaccine works, then those who take it have nothing to fear from the unvaccinated. Why then not just go about your life thinking those who refuse the vaccination are being stupid and if they get sick it is on them? Why are those who are vaccinated still fearful? A poll a saw recently said 24% of vaccinated are still wearing a mask despite there being no need if the vaccine works. In the US I have health insurance and my own money to pay for my medical bills, there is no financial incentive to mandate vaccines. The economic impact is from the lockdowns, not from the virus, even a more lethal virus would not cause a severe economic impact if there weren't shutdowns. So why mandate the vaccine?
The solution is to go about living your life and to allow other people to do the same. Allow the fearful to isolate, distance, or whatever, allow the ones wanting the vax to get it, and allow those who don't care to not care.
