Description
This is a talk in applied ethics on vaccine hesitancy within certain racialized communities. We discuss the distrust that fuels much of this hesitancy and that is rooted in historical and everyday racial injustices, including those that have occurred or occur in medicine. For people who feel this distrust, measures like mandatory vaccination or vaccine passports pose a substantial psychological burden. In calling for measures like these, policymakers ought to take this burden very seriously and try to address it, or so we argue. We also explain how they could address it.
