摘要

封锁是一种道德上和医学上合适的抗传染政策,可以阻止新冠病毒的传播。然而,封锁带来了相当大的成本。具体来说,封锁给年轻人造成了伤害和损失,以使老年人受益,老年人患重病和死于新冠肺炎的风险最高。这表明,老年人的(流行病学)疫情负担已转变为年轻人的系统性封锁负担。本文认为,即使封锁是道德上允许的应对Covid的措施,它们给年轻人造成的伤害和损失也有理由要求赔偿。我为代际补偿论点辩护,该论点支持一种平等主义的代际转移,以补偿年轻人受到封锁的伤害。

Lockdowns and the ethics of intergenerational compensation
Lockdowns were a morally and medically appropriate anti-contagion policy to stop the spread of Covid. However, lockdowns came with considerable costs. Specifically, lockdowns imposed harms and losses upon the young in order to benefit the elderly, who were at the highest risk of severe illness and death from Covid. This represented a shifting of the (epidemiological) burden of Covid for the elderly to a systemic burden of lockdown upon the young. This article argues that even if lockdowns were a morally permissible response to Covid, the harms and losses they imposed on the young ground a claim of compensation. I defend an intergenerational compensation argument that defends a claim for an egalitarian intergenerational transfer to compensate the young for the harms of lockdown.
