morality is subjective and people don't have free will

We don't have to prove what words are the right words to use. Can we prove that we ought to use the word "health" to describe someone who isn't sick? No, the word is just a label. But health is still a matter of objective facts. And when it comes to immorality... whether we call it "suffering" or "bad" or not... it's still an objective fact that suffering is suffering. And you can have more and less suffering. I don't see the difference between saying that and saying you can have more or less badness.

Because the payoff is worth it. If they don't get the vaccine and they get ill they'll suffer much, much more.
