I just came across a great analogy:
The long term effect of seat belt laws is that more than 98% of all fatalities among car drivers and passengers were wearing seatbelts.
Think about it....
Not 98%, just the majority.
90% of people wear seat belts. 47% of deaths are the unbelted.
that's 10% make up 47% of deaths, 90% make up 53% of deaths.
The unbelted are 8x more likely to die. Wearing seat belts is 88% effective in preventing death.
Seat Belts | NHTSA
Seatbelts significantly increases your chance of survival during a crash. Seatbelts are the safest choice drivers & passengers can make while driving.

From other sources, it costs $30,000 in seat belts for every life saved.
Air bags aren't nearly as cost effective. And 3/4 of the lives airbags save are those without seatbelts.
But like the point you make, we could get to where majority of covid deaths are the vaccinated. Doesn't mean unvaccinated is safer; many more would have died without the vaccine.
