Wilkinson, Dominic, Jonathan Pugh, and Julian Savulescu. "Selective Lockdowns Can Be Ethically Justifiable – Here’s Why". The Conversation. (1637020800)November 16, 2021. https://theconversation.com/...

The unvaccinated are at a much greater risk of getting infected and spreading the coronavirus disease.  They suffer the most severe symptoms and are the corona patients who occupy over 90% of the ICU beds.  Even though they restrict individual freedoms, lockdowns are justifiable where necessary and proportionate to achieve an important public health benefit.  Selective lockdowns are an alternative to complete lockdowns.  Although they treat people differently, there is no need to lock down those at low risk of infection or hospitalization.  A general lockdown is at the cost of liberty of a significant majority, who are fully vaccinated.
