Vaccinpassets rättfärdigande : En utredning av ett libertarianskt försvar avvaccinpass / Justification of the Vaccine Passport : An Investigation Into a Libertarian Defense ofVaccine Passports

In times of crisis and disaster, history can testify to humanity's tendency to burst at the seamsof morality. This thesis aims to investigate and prove that the introduction of vaccinepassports can be considered ethically justified on the basis of a theory whose basic values canbe said to be furthest from such a conclusion. Based on paternalism, freedom and autonomy, Iintend to examine whether the state is justified in introducing measures that restrict people'sfreedom with the aim of preventing them from harming others. The discussion is based onJason Brennan's ‘clean hands principle’ and examines arguments concerning collectivelyharmful activities and unacceptable risk. What does it really say about libertarians'propensity, or obligation, to accept vaccine passports? The conclusion is that libertarians donot have to be too sure that the justification of vaccine passports is beyond reason, but neithermust those who have been convinced abandon the basic values of libertarianism.
