I agree it's a counterpoint, but I disagree it's fatal. I think they're an instance of "bad facts make bad law."

Vaccines are unusual in a few respects: (1) recently they've fallen into the generalized backlash against lockdowns; (2) by their nature the benefit is in the reduction of low probability events that people mis-estimate anyway; and (3) polling on the issue often conflates questions of science, such as do vaccines work, with questions of policy, such as whether they should be mandatory.

Your personal agreement with the opposing view notwithstanding, if a counterexample is true (OP posted a good one) then it is fatal to the rule it contradicts

so feel free to retract the now dead claim that "True authority automatically draws respect" (which itself is perfect example of a no true Scotsman fallacy)
