- Pandemic public policy-making requires far-reaching decisions in the context of severe and dynamic lack of information. This policy brief breaks down the ethical challenge of pandemic public policy-making under conditions of uncertainty into understandable parts, and elaborates how these may be approached in practice. A pandemic usually implies uncertainty about the spread of the infection, about its impacts for people and society, and the effects of policy measures undertaken in response to the pandemic. A precautionary approach is required, but precautionary reasoning must consider practicality, non-arbitrariness, proportionality and justification. Pandemic public policy making under uncertainty should avoid paralysis by limiting the space for precautionary reasoning; balance both uncertain harms and uncertain benefits; avoid false certainty bias; decrease uncertainty, while minding the price of precaution; take into consideration legitimacy but also public opinion and feelings; set, disclose and communicate underlying ethical values and principles; monitor and re-evaluate decisions and consequences. This paper is intended for those making and advising public policy decisions, including ethicists.
