ok so let say overpopulation is killing the earth... and the vax is population control sterilization or death by seemingly natural means 5-10 years away... The question is Would you knowingly take the vax if it truly meant saving the earth... And if not are you fine with the planet getting trashed?

"Trashing the Planet." Good book. Was written in the 1980's by Dixie Lee Ray, the former governor of Washington. Read it, and get a fresh perspective on an old con game- environmentalism. It's a short read, and very insightful.
But to your question, the planet doesn't need any saving from humanity. Humans need saving from other humans who value their esoteric vision of what they assume is best for "the planet" over what other people decide is best for people. Humanity doesn't have an overpopulation problem, but there is evidence of populations being over-concentrated in regions. And population concentration problems are solvable issues.
But, ironically (not ironically) solving those population concentration issues run into problems largely created by the very same people who complain about how overpopulation, and technology is killing the planet.
Stopping the construction of new coal, and nuclear power plants does nothing to help spread out population. $5.00/gallon gasoline doesn't help that either. Stopping oil, and natural gas production in many parts of the nation (world) doesn't help people move to new regions. Nor does limiting hunting and fishing areas that people use for food encourage people to live in new areas.
But in return for humanities noble sacrifices "for the planet" we get millions of acres of pretty parks to take pictures of, and film of whales swimming the oceans, we even get an entire continent (Antarctica) where humans are forbidden from tarnishing this part of the planet, and so forth. Meanwhile, the overlords who deem the earth to be overpopulated cram humans into living "pods" and literal cage housing (see urban China) while demanding more taxes from their peasants to save the planet from climate change- which we humans are allegedly to blame for that too.
I'll end my ramble before it gets too long by simply stating that those who run this planet are the problem with this planet. Not overpopulation. It's just like everything else- all failures of society begin with poor leadership. And, when viewed on a global scale, we do have an overpopulation of terrible leaders.
