IN UTILITARIANISM, utility maximisation (Bentham) is used to benefit the largest number of people in the largest possible way. This is the obvious rationale behind the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines rollout. What is ironic, is that the law of diminishing marginal utility appears to apply to vaccines, just as it applies in economics, for as the global vaccine uptake rises (and despite the introduction of boosters), vaccine efficacy is declining towards negative utility. The experiment in utilitarianism has obviously failed (and perhaps with dire and lasting consequences). It is time for governments to consider other solutions. #Utilitarianism #MaximumUtility #NegativeUtility #SARSCoV2 #VaccineRollOut #VaccineEfficacy #CatastrophicFailure #NewSolution
