I don't mind taking a 0.5% risk to avoid 1% of my life spent in lockdown.

Neither does my mother or grandmother.

It is not an axiom that an increase in death rates at the population level is bad, because people are willing to put their lives at a small risk in order to preserve some semblance of meaning in them.

This is a point lost on essentially every lockdown proponent as far as I can tell. They are fundamentally unwilling to accept differing value systems and seek to enforce theirs.
