Dlaczego katolik nie ma obowiązku zaszczepić się przeciw COVID-19? Perspektywa etyczna

Abstract

The author of the article claims that a Catholic has no moral obligation to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Firstly, a Catholic can acknowledge the experimental nature of vaccines. Secondly, a Catholic can appeal to the precautionary principle and to the risk assessment principle concerning possibility of losing health or life as a result of serious adverse vaccine reactions. Thirdly, a Catholic can acknowledge the vaccines as extraordinary medical means. Finally, a Catholic has the right to be guided by the official position of the Catholic Church on voluntarity of vaccinations.
