摘要

摘要：2020年春季，为应对新冠肺炎危机，许多世界领导人实施了全球封锁。我们认为，这些限制并没有伴随着采用或延续这些限制所需的道德认识实践。虽然理论上封锁是合理的，但各国政府没有开会，也没有承担起合理的负担。我们不会争辩说，不那么严格的政策是最佳的或更有理由的。相反，我们解释了政府领导人是如何通过依赖数据、模型和质量不够好的证据来证明其行为的合理性，从而失败并继续未能履行其认识义务的。

How Government Leaders Violated Their Epistemic Duties During the SARS-CoV-2 Crisis

ABSTRACT:In spring 2020, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, many world leaders imposed universal lockdowns. We argue that these restrictions have not been accompanied by the epistemic practices morally required for their adoption or continuation. While in theory lockdowns can be justified, governments did not meet and have not yet met their justificatory burdens. We will not argue that less stringent policies were optimal or better justified. Rather, we explain how government leaders failed and have continued to fail to meet their epistemic duties by relying upon data, models, and evidence of insufficiently good quality to justify their actions.
