A few unrelated points:
1) Bad math, it is really .01%.
2) Comparing it to highway deaths does not make it sound like a small number. Dying in a car crash is really about the most realistic chance a young healthy person has of dying. If 400 otherwhise healthy Albertans died of this, this year, that is a pretty big tragedy, I'd say.
3) All this talk of selfish... wouldn't you only be killing other selfish people who didn't get the vaccine? Wouldn't the less selfish thing to do is not get one until all the high risk group people get them?
