COVID-19 vaccine boosters for young adults: a risk benefit assessment and ethical analysis of mandate policies at universities Misinformation Library
The possibility that a vaccine might put recipients at risk poses serious ethical questions that require a careful assessment of those risks in contrast to the vaccine’s benefits to the recipient and to the larger community. Bardosh et al. set out to consider this ethical issue, but the risk/benefit assessment on which they base their discussion contains twelvemajor errors, all of which artificially inflate the risk/benefit ratio. The probability that these errors occurred at random is extremely low (p = 0.0002). Use of such a flawed RBA raises its own set of ethical concerns.
