Why “the benefits outweigh the risks” is untrue
… That’s what is being said at the moment, especially every time someone dies from a Covid-19 vaccine
… the increasingly widespread understanding of the risk-benefit principle
… are not terminally ill, but basically healthy individuals
… who are considered dead men walking
… the principle of proportionality must consider the individuals … and not just the population at large
… risk of deviating towards a collectivist idea of this balancing act
… as if it were a matter of renouncing a part to save the whole
… “because the individual is not a part of the social organism, but is the purpose of society; the common good must be understood as the good of the individual”
… The good of the individual cannot be sacrificed on the altar of the community
… “you cannot apply the concept of ‘part’ and ‘whole’ respectively to the individual and society: in the individual person there is the overall value and the fundamental reason for the very existence of society”
