The “for the herd” moral argument only makes sense for a vaccine that stops transmission of the virus. In that case, the individualistic argument for not vaccinating is “I’m going to leech off hers immunity.”
Ironically, because COVID vaccinated individuals still transmit the virus, the individualistic argument now favors the vaccine. Since anyone vaccinated is going to reduce social distancing and try to “return to normal,” they will spread the virus. So now the individualistic argument is that you should get the vaccine because the virus will become endemic and on a long enough timeline you will become infected.
