Covid 19 has been a significant issue for the past year. A number of companies have come up with vaccines and treatments on an accelerated basis in order to try and stem the pandemic. Most of these companies have been granted immunity from lawsuits (by the federal government) related to side-effects. This is because the federal government wanted the companies to accelerate the process to complete it in a year instead of the normal 3 years, which increases the risk that a side-effect will occur. Was it ethical for the federal government to provide immunity from lawsuits since all the long-term effects of the vaccine aren't known at this point. Apply the consequential framework to defend your answer.
