So if the Iraq War had yielded massive oil revenues for America and gasoline was $0.05/gallon, that would've justified the killing of thousands of people on both sides, gotcha. The ends never justify the means.
So you wouldn't kill one person to save a thousand?

We're not talking about monetary gain here, you're being disingenuous. If a few people die due to vaccines but everyone else is saved, of course the ends justify the means. That's like saying that spending a penny to get a nickel wouldn't be justified because you have to spend the penny.
