I’ll allow that there is seemingly a significant portion of the population who believes they don’t personally benefit from a vaccine, but your comment said -everyone- is incentivized to shirk: that’s just not true.

Of course this depends on the unknown factor of how bad the side effects are, if they are nonexistent then it's a different story, but if they are on average as bad as a flu shot then it becomes tricky.
I suppose I'm really thinking in the context of countries like Australia which have essentially eradicated the virus. My risk of getting the virus right now is practically zero, so my only incentive to get vaccinated is that we can eventually reopen our borders once enough people are vaccinated. And personally I'm in no hurry to get flooded by foreign tourists anyway.
