At this point I'm used to having unpopular opinions. I'm fine. However I am a bit disturbed at the reaction. I really thought people here would value morals over covert warfare.
While what the nurse is doing from our perspective, is good, from the publics perception, this nurse took someone's health decisions into her own hands by way of deception. In my mind this is wrong. This is the moral issue. You can argue she was saving lives, but doing so in an underhanded way I think negates any points won for saving the lives. We need to fight by winning the hearts, minds and trust of our fellow humans, deceiving them is not the way to win that trust. I am disappointed that the users in this thread do not see this point.
Generally I agree. I just think when those patients find out they have been deceived by this nurse, they will never come to our side or be convinced by us due to this act. I realize they were already lined up to get the vaccine, but I hope this was out of ignorance, rather than making an informed choice.
As far as perspective, what I meant was, from the point of view of most members of this board, the nurse did the right thing by choosing not to harm the patients. I can agree with that. What I cannot agree with is doing this by deception, rather than providing information to the patient and having them decide, thus retaining their bodily sovereignty.

All is fair in war.
We are at war with our fellow humans on this planet? Or are we at war with the elite?
We are at war with the killers.
