Using Visual and Narrative Methods to Achieve Fair Process in Clinical Care

Narrative Ethics, COVID-19, and Flawed Stories
Abstract:
The bioethics literature has paid little attention to resistance to COVID-19 vaccination, despite the safety and effectiveness of vaccines and the heavy death toll of the virus. A narrative approach to the problem might begin with descriptions of good and bad narratives about vaccination. Bad stories about vaccination tend to be constructed backwards, starting with the desired conclusion (vaccination is dangerous or ineffective) and from that filling in needed "facts" to support the conclusion. Physicians need to act in more trustworthy ways in order to convince at least some patients to consider vaccination.
