Most developed societies managed, due to their prosperity and resource abundance, to structure relationships among free individuals in such a way to leave them fundamentally unstructured, according to the free market principle. As the pandemic illustrated well, this lack of structure when facing collective threats makes it impossible to collectively and proportionately assess and manage its implications and consequences. This may be particularly precarious when introducing comprehensive, monitoring and tracking, surveillance systems dependent on the vaccination status of the individual. If our previously shared aims were successfully and collectively enacted with the greatest of costs, is it permissible that the degree of personal freedom is a commodity, and everyone is a compulsory participant? The need to control one's COVID-19 status allows the individual to become legally free from excessive enactment of sovereignty of the state. Should these rights be regulated by the free market?
大多数发达社会由于繁荣和资源丰富,成功地将自由个体之间的关系构建成一种基本无结构的形式,遵循自由市场原则。正如大流行很好地表明的那样,在面对集体威胁时缺乏结构使得无法集体和相称地评估和管理其影响和后果。当引入全面、监测和跟踪、依赖个人疫苗接种状况的监视系统时,情况尤其不稳定。如果我们以前共同的目标是以最大的代价成功地集体实施,那么个人自由的程度是否是一种商品,每个人是否都是强制性的参与者?控制自己 COVID-19 状况的需要使个人在法律上免受国家过度行使主权的限制。这些权利是否应该由自由市场来监管?
