I think most antivaxxers would say the problem is that you frame those outcomes as equally likely and that their risk tolerance allows them to accept a 1 in 500 chance.
personally I wouldn’t play russian roulette even if the odds were 1 in 500, especially when the only payoff for taking that chance is continuing to live. I’ll do whatever I can to improve those odds short of walking around in a hazmat suit.
Not to mention improving my odds of not suffering intensely for weeks and not developing long term side effects like BRAIN DAMAGE.
