Is the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine Unethical?

Bioethics

“The question assumes a foundational biblical truth that is often pushed aside in these times: namely, that a Christian may not do evil that good may come out of it (Rom. 12:21). In a day when ‘lesser of two evils’ ethics and ‘whataboutism’ have upended Christian witness, with Christians affirming much that they previously denied in order to justify remaining loyal to their temporal tribes, we should be thankful, at least, when the right questions are asked.” - Russel Moore

“The intuitions behind this question are good and sound. The question assumes a foundational biblical truth that is often pushed aside in these times: namely, that a Christian may not do evil that good may come out of it (Rom. 12:21). In a day when “lesser of two evils” ethics and “whataboutism” have upended Christian witness, with Christians affirming much that they previously denied in order to justify remaining loyal to their temporal tribes, we should be thankful, at least, when the right questions are asked. “

I put a bit of a spin on it to reflect what Russel Moore really means given the sum total of all the comments he has made over the years about Christians supporting Trump.
