COVID, Vulnerability, and the Death of Solidarity: “Who Do We Not Save?”

AbstractSolidarity between more and less vulnerable groups is fundamental to an effective public health response to a global pandemic.

In this paper I discuss how this has affected our understanding and acceptance of solidarity.
