I think one of the interesting questions is about whether someone is who is a terrible person should be permitted to continue work in a field where they re obviously talented and knowledgeable. People sometimes give a pass on past work, but future work seems to be off limits. I think it was brought up earlier about making a covid vaccine. If you knew that the only person capable of developing that vaccine or some other valuable research was in jail or ostracized from academia. Would you have that person working if it meant reaching a vaccine sooner,or would you say "no thanks, we'll start from scratch without you".
