The toughest moral test lies ahead.

“Vaccine Confronts Humanity With Next Moral Test. Who gets coronavirus protection first (and last)? Who profits (and loses)? What is “informed consent” (if it exists)? Divided societies face agonizing choices. How can the vaccine reach a critical mass without compulsion? … An employer might demand vaccination as a condition of reporting for work. A university might impose the same requirement on faculty and students. A vaccine might be dangled as a golden ticket to return to theatres, cinemas, night clubs or sports events. Governments or foundations could even pay people to receive a shot.”

John Authers discusses this issue in his article here

Whilst vaccines are not directly to do with your wealth and your money, they are indirectly. What impact will the decision about the vaccines have on all businesses? That means when you allocate your savings via your pensions and ISAs into shares of public companies, how will the decisions made about vaccines impact on your future returns?  Who is actually making these decisions about what shares to be invested? As an investor do you want your money to be a little more ‘moralistic’ by making different decisions?

There are many questions, but unless you ask the questions, you may not get the answers that are good for your future.
