My point is that that's because there are more people today, but that the chance of any one of us facing an untimely death appears to be lower today than it was twelve hundred years ago which is why we live longer than people did then.
If there were a hundred people in your village and the Vikings raided and killed or enslaved fifty of you - those were bad odds. If there are ten million people in your state, and the vaccine kills or injures 100,000 people then a great many more people are injured - but even so I'd rather risk the vaccine than the Vikings.
Our life expectancy is higher, so the risk to an individual of untimely death is lower.
Sorry, that does not compute.
You noted that today's evil affects more people.

Does that make sense now?
