There is no long run for an individual. If civilization fails to uphold the values of the individual, then civilization fails. Because the question essentially "what do i get out of working with you guys". And if the answer is "if you die it doesnt matter" you can see how civilization would tend to break down.

Yes.

Honestly I feel that people are pretty much aware that on a civilization scale, a person dying does not matter. But adversely, if "what do I get out of working with you guys?" Equals a civilization that can offer group immunity and security for those who genuinely cannot have vaccines, suddenly the one in a million deaths isn't nearly as bad. Especially since it was already pretty much accepted. It's like trying to argue that water is bad because 100% of all people who have died drank water. Taking something g that's universal like "one death doesn't matter" and changing it to say "one death by vaccination doesn't matter." Doesn't actually make vaccines terrible. It just makes your argument terrible.

Not that im actually opposed to vaccination, but arguing water is bad because 100% of people who drink it die, is no where near arguing 1 death in a million survivals matters.
One is cleary post hoc and the other is strictly moral subjectivity. -
Around 400 kids die from drowning in a pool. The population of the US is around 350 million.
So 1 in a nillion people will die from pools, which are far less helpful than vaccines. -
pools are voluntary

But not swimming doesn't put others at risk.

Not getting vaccinated only puts others at risk if theyre not vaccinated. A risk that theyre perfectly free to take themselves
