Bioethics recycles old antivax tropes about COVID vaccines for children

Picture Bioethics as the recycling container and the trash as old antivaccine arguments that date back to long before COVID-19.
Picture the journal Bioethics as the recycling container and the trash as old antivaccine arguments that date back to long before COVID-19.

A recent article in Bioethics makes ethical arguments against vaccinating children against COVID-19. If you change the word “COVID-19” to measles, chickenpox, or rotavirus (or others), this article could have been published on one of the higher-brow antivax websites in 2010. Antivax arguments never change; they’re just continually recycled.
