Well you can speculate about hypotheticals all day. Some number, albeit small, of otherwise healthy-presenting people will get seriously ill as a direct result of the vax. Those people will need to be hospitalized too, and may have only gotten mildly ill from covid itself.
A big problem is that the data is all so young, it's hard to draw any completely concrete conclusions. The initial fears about hospitals being wildly overrun turned out to largely be a false alarm, and that was with the original strain which was, by all accounts, much more likely to result in hospitalization.
So no, for healthy people I think that on balance it doesn't make sense to get vaxed, at least until we have more information.

I think I get your meaning.
You're saying the risk/reward ratio from vaxxing is lower for apparently healthy individuals than it for the eminently at-risk. So low in fact that it's a greater personal utility to avoid the vaxx than to get it for their sake.
Ultimately, you are not your brothers keeper.
