I'm in the middle of a class right now otherwise I'd love to jump in some more. But I think trying to analyze by analogizing to vaccines, Katrina, etc, is misplaced. Those fall into the category of either emergency or protection of life--same reason war can be justified. Not so for convenience. If you introduce emergency analysis into ethics as a general rule, it usually messes things up.
It boils down to convenience of the many trumps the life rights of the few--which is exactly the argument used by many in support of abortion.
