Justice & Covid: What's the right thing to do?

FOCUS ARTICLE: Who Should Get the Covid-19 Vaccine Next? A Debate - The New York  Times 

Who shall live and who shall die. “Just follow the science” or “Let the market decide” are  powerless to definitively answer this crucial question. 

Our decisions must go beyond science, economics and politics. They require a sense of  values, morality and justice. 

How we chose to inoculate the world against COVID will define and expose our values.  Paraphrasing Flip Wilson, 

 I know you can talk that talk but can you walk that walk?  

It’s a moral choice facing individuals, communities, nations and global family. Our implicit  philosophy stands exposed. 

Examine the debate in today’s focus article. Look for the factors that are considered and the  choices that are posed and advocated.  

What are you and your family going to do?  

What should Boulder, Colorado, and the United States do?  

What should the world family do? 

Think about the science. Think about the economics. Think about the politics. Who should  get the COVID vaccine next? What does it say about your sense of justice? 

I think we can have a lot of fun exploring our differing views in a safe space. We may even  learn something.
