Everybody shits on the trolley problem, until it gets to the question of forcing people to get vaccinated...

Doesn’t apply. Disease is a societal group problem. Part of the social contract of living in that society is vaccination. You don’t have to get vaccinated but you then don’t get to enjoy the privileges of living with others in the community.

This isn’t anything like the trolley problem. And yes, taking actions has consequences intended or otherwise. That’s not the trolley problem either
