Abstract
[...]in “The Epistemic Duties of Philosophers: An Addendum,” van Basshuysen and White wrap up the exchange by clarifying that they are not defending lockdowns and acknowledging the enormous harm that lockdowns have wrought. The quest for epistemically warranted policy responses to the pandemic is an especially pressing one, as COVID refuses to be tamed, and we all are participating in a real-time, world-wide social experiment to figure out what we should do about it. Since cures for COVID are still lacking, our responses to the pandemic have been social interventions. Even the vaccination campaign has turned out to be a complex social intervention. [...]reflection on the social values that shape our assessment of different courses of intervention is crucial.

The Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal offers a scholarly forum for diverse views on major issues in bioethics, such as analysis and critique of principlism, feminist perspectives in bioethics, the work of the Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments, active euthanasia, genetics, health care reform, and organ transplantation. Each issue includes "Scope Notes," an overview and extensive annotated bibliography on a specific topic in bioethics, and "Bioethics Inside the Beltway," a report written by a Washington insider updating bioethics activities on the federal level.
