Abstract

Abstract Some vaccine-hesitant people lack epistemic trust in the COVID-19 vaccine recommendation that because vaccines have been shown to be medically safe and effective, one ought to get vaccinated. Citing what I call exception information , they claim that whatever the general safety and efficacy of vaccines, the vaccines may not be safe and effective for them. Examples include parents citing information about their children's health, pregnant women's concerns about the potential adverse effects of treatment on pregnant women, young people citing their relative invulnerability to extreme COVID-19 symptoms, or members of vulnerable racial groups citing epistemic injustice, such as a lack of representation in COVID-19 vaccine trials. This paper examines the extent to which a lack of epistemic trust in vaccine recommendations, based on such exemption information, is rational.
COVID-19疫苗犹豫的合理性
一些疫苗犹豫者对COVID-19疫苗推荐缺乏认知信任,因为疫苗已被证明在医学上安全有效,所以应该接种疫苗。他们引用我所说的例外信息,声称无论疫苗的一般安全性和有效性如何,疫苗对他们来说可能并不安全有效。例子包括父母引用有关子女健康的信息,孕妇担心治疗对孕妇的潜在不利影响,年轻人引用他们相对不易受到COVID-19极端症状的影响,或弱势种族群体成员引用认知不公正,例如在COVID-19疫苗试验中缺乏代表性。本文考察了基于此类豁免信息的疫苗推荐缺乏认知信任的合理性程度。
