What kind of silly response is this? Of course a rational society would look at the impact of individual decisions extrapolated over the collective.
If nobody got the covid vaccine, would things be better or worse across our society than they are now? Simple question, simple answer, but something you are ignoring and thus you aren't rational.

Unbounded utilitarian arguments can be used to justify any number of atrocities, and therefore must be bounded by human rights and other factors. Ultimately, it comes down to what you are and aren't measuring when you are assessing "impact over the collective".
