Let's say the international community were to come up with a way to fully recognize freedom of choice regarding Covid vaccination.
Something like you can either get a proof of vaccination or a proof that you understood and accepted any consequences of your personal choice to not get vaccinated. Then the QR Code is the same and gives all the same access for stuff like travel. No person checking that code can ever know if you got the vaccine or if you acknowledged responsibilities instead. The only difference is if you ever find yourself in hospital in need of a respirator and there are not enough for everyone, then you already accepted this as a possible risk and cannot really complain.
I wonder if such a type of solution would be acceptable or if the ethical issues would be just as unworkable?
I like the practical proactive approach here. I will try and contribute, and sort out how one might be practical and accepting in a situation that appears not to be practical or accepting. What I mean by that is the free will infringement that is global at this point.
First of all, acceptance is obviously a key feature. As many people here in this thread have been saying, it is the right of each individual to have sovereignty over their own bodies.
In your above scenario, let's assume that an individual who chose not to get vaccinated wound up with covid and ended up in the hospital in critical condition. Let's also assume that the individual actually does have covid which is the cause of the respiratory distress. Already, we have a loveless situation about to unfold, not to mention an unethical one. It is not ethical for a medical professional to deny care or to "do harm" by elimination or a false hierarchy, if one goes by the Hippocratic Oath. Logically, the person with the most need would get the ventilator first and so on. (This brings up something I have wondered since the beginning. Aside from the idea that people were actually harmed from being ventilated, why was procuring ventilators such an issue? It seems insane to me that in this whole world, we could not find a manufacturer to produce such and supply the need. It is also a mystery why triage centers weren't set up and volunteers solicited, and so on. I bring this up because there was no love in any of that.)
So now we come to the first layer of acceptance. The person who has been vaccinated is being faced with the idea that they will receive vital care over a person who has not been vaccinated (how does a STO-oriented person feel about this idea?). And the person who is not vaccinated will face the idea that they will not receive the vital care until after others who have complied with the mandates get it. The problem with these choices is that something external (government control; violation of the Hippocratic Oath, and so on) is involved in the situation and free will has been infringed upon. There is a myriad of issues imbedded here.
A deeper layer of acceptance must now be considered, as, the above layer appears untenable, or at the least, made of compromises one can't avoid. That acceptance is: the human world is what it is. Specifically at this time in human history (this is not 1918 and the Spanish flu, or polio in the first part of the 1900s—this world now is much more complicated, advanced in technology, plugged in, especially since computers became accessible to all), and according to Ra the time of transition to 4th density, there are issues that speak to the first distortion—free will, and then the next two distortions—love, and light. All three are important.
If we all chose to be here at this time, we must have accepted this time frame and the possibilities inherent in this nexus point. Rather than try to analyze whether or not one is operating from fear or love (because this idea is very much rooted in human language and paradigms), it might be better to dive as deep as possible into self. Why are you here? Dive below the surface ideas that first come to mind, and dig until you find the authentic self, the self which has been there since the beginning of this life. What things have always mattered? What part of self rose up at a time when one was controlled? For example, was there a revulsion as a child when told to dissect a frog in science class? Was there a resistance to being forced to go to school when you just wanted to dream and look at flowers and trees? Somewhere inside us all is an authentic self and I think this situation is driving us to reconnect with it if it has been lost due to the enormous human societal pressures to survive.
This is like an exaggerated version of "The Choice." To take the leap off the cliff not seeing where it leads following the prompts of the authentic self. But in order to follow the prompts of the authentic self, one must dig deep to expose it.

In writing the above I don't think I was answering the question, but I just followed where my thoughts took me.
