murder 70 children and young people to save a million coffin dodgers? That's not very utilitarian.

Why can't you accept there is a utilitarian argument to be made?
For argument's sake, you are a politician who knows a vaccine is 100 times less safe than the MMR jab but very effective.
That would give you 70 dead per year from the vaccine compared to 3,000 a day from the virus.
Is that a price worth paying?
Worst case. You'd be murdering 70 to save a million or more if you factor in the knock-on economic woes and collapsing health services.

Socialism without freedom is fascism.
