It's like if the trolly problem has one side tied to the tracks and the other is laying on it on purpose claiming trains are a hoax.

Correct, but my addendum is to just tell the people saying it's a hoax. "You are free to believe that, but if you remain on these tracks, we are going run you over with that train you can see heading your way at about 120mph. Good luck."

"And the train is full of people going to the hospital, if we stop it they all die"

Very, very, very easy choice.

Doctors, politicians, soldiers, and plenty of regular people make choices that are way harder than this all the time.

Shit, anyone who’s had to decide where to eat lunch before has made a decision harder than this. Fuck these clowns.
