In this episode of Undisciplinary we talk with Dr Jane Williams from Sydney Health Ethics (University of Sydney) about public health ethics during a pandemic and the uneven distribution of blame and responsibility for outbreaks. We also question the emphasis on the need for a vaccine, the politics of vaccine distribution and whether immunity passports will repeat past examples of racialised and unjust forms of population control.
