compulsory vaccination, etc. for a virus whose overall mortality it's below 1%. This is not about rich and poor.

It is to an extent about young and old, though. If you're young and healthy then chances are you won't suffer serious effects... but that's not really the point. If you're young and healthy and coughing Covid onto everyone, chances are you'll infect someone who is more vulnerable.

For the young and healthy, vaccination isn't so much about protecting the individual as it is about protecting the more vulnerable people in society. Same with face masks, social distancing, etc.
Anti-vaxxers can kill other people by refusing to take the vaccine.

It's more about ideology: the sheep and those who resist

I think it's more about morality and empathy. The selfish, and those who want to protect everyone.
