Pladio - I don't really see the connection with the trolley problem. In the trolley problem you stand aside and let five people die and say nothing to do with me so not my fault. The other option is that you move the trolley to another track and, actively(?) kill one person. In both of these cases strangers died.
With the vaccine the do nothing option may kill other people (family, friends and/ or strangers) and possibly yourself. Taking the vaccine may help save the people in the previous sentence but the risk is that you may die (which of course has impacts on your family and friends wellbeing). Of course in a family with a serious heart disease history then I understand the decision to do nothing e.g. my wife has a cousin who had a heart attack in his early 50s (though he decided to get jabbed after he looked at the options).
Could you explain how taking/ not taking the vaccine is the trolley problem or clarify were I have made a mistake? Or is it a general comment on perception?
