对COVID-19疫苗接种计划的贡献承诺了宝贵的集体利益。它们可以通过创造群体免疫力和减轻不堪重负的公共卫生服务的压力来支持公共和个人健康;通过使政府能够取消限制性封锁政策来支持行动自由;通过允许企业，学校和其他基本公共服务重新开放来改善经济和社会福祉。接种疫苗的人可以为这些产品的生产做出贡献。未接种疫苗的人，谁受益于，但谁不有助于这些商品可以作为搭便车的道德批评。在这篇论文中，我们为这样一种说法进行了辩护，即在COVID-19的情况下，未接种疫苗的人是不公平的搭便车者。我反对两种反对意见，为这一主张进行辩护。首先，他们不是不公平的搭便车者，因为他们缺乏搭便车者的主观态度和意图;其次，尽管未接种疫苗的人可能是搭便车者，但他们的搭便车并不公平。
Contributions to COVID-19 vaccination programmes promise valuable collective goods. They can support public and individual health by creating herd immunity and taking the pressure off overwhelmed public health services; support freedom of movement by enabling governments to remove restrictive lockdown policies; and improve economic and social well-being by allowing businesses, schools, and other essential public services to re-open. The vaccinated can contribute to the production of these goods. The unvaccinated, who benefit from, but who do not contribute to these goods can be morally criticised as free-riders. In this paper defends the claim that in the case of COVID-19, the unvaccinated are unfair free-riders. I defend the claim against two objections. First, that they are not unfair free-riders because they lack the subjective attitudes and intentions of free-riders; second, that although the unvaccinated may be free-riders, their free-riding is not unfair.
