ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS ON THE CONNECTION BETWEEN BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS AND COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Summary/Abstract: After the Covid-19 pandemic was officially declared by the United Nations Organization on 11 March 2020, this has been associated with the state of war and biological weapons. Could the Covid-19 pandemic, which caused hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide, be considered a result of experiments? A simple search on search engines for the terms “biological weapons” and “Covid-19” retrieves approximately 10,200,000 results in 0.69 seconds, allowing to conclude that the two ideas and concepts have been frequently associated lately. During the periods of restrictions imposed on the population by authorities (emergency ordinances, state of emergency, lockdown measures, etc.), various apocalyptic scenarios have been advanced and debated, mass media and social networks being an unprecedented arena for raising topics and taking stands. The population has been assaulted with extreme information, and words such as war, weapons, insecurity, and control have been frequently expressed. This paper aims to highlight the ethical issues regarding the connection between the Covid-19 pandemic and biological weapons.
