The Covid-19 pandemic has raised a range of complex challenges for the research community in the United States. This essay uses Covid-19 as a model pandemic illness to consider two such issues that have yet to be fully explored in the ethics literature: first, whether the informed consent process should include a discussion of pandemic risks and, if so, how precisely these risks should be conveyed to potential research participants and, second, whether and under what circumstances vaccination status should be taken into consideration when enrolling subjects in non-pandemic-related studies during a pandemic.
新冠疫情给美国的研究界带来了一系列复杂的挑战。本文以新冠疫情为例，探讨了伦理学文献中尚未充分探讨的两个问题：一是知情同意过程是否应包含对大流行风险的讨论，如果需要，应如何向潜在的研究参与者准确传达这些风险；二是在大流行期间，在非大流行相关研究中招募研究对象时，是否以及在何种情况下应考虑疫苗接种状况。
