I’ll help your argument out and make it stronger (because “reserved” vaccines have indeed been shipped overseas):
Once a vial is opened the vaccines contained therein can’t be shipped overseas and will expire in a few hours. I could therefore wait outside a Walgreens before closing and get the shot.
Except Im not a utilitarian. I cannot take what is rightfully another’s just because they cant enjoy it. I believe that all young people should have refused the shot, therefore liberating millions of doses. Mine is but the first (literal) drop in what should be an ocean; and Im actively encouraging my friends to do the moral thing and refuse to get boosted.
It is rightfully yours. your government put in the work to develop and produce these vaccines on your behalf. You can always put in more work to make more vaccines to get to others if you think they should also have vaccines
Do you only do this for vaccines? other medical treatment? food? water?
I don't know where to draw the line myself, so I wonder what kind of rules you set for yourself. This sounds like one of the most extreme examples I've heard.
