So other people's virtue is worth nothing?
Strictly, no. Virtue ethics is self-regarding that way. But it isn't like virtue ethics says you shouldn't care about other people's virtue. It just isn't calculated at that level of the theory. Helping other people be virtuous is the compassionate and generous thing to do.
Agreed, at least on the common (recent American) ethical egoist reading of virtue ethics.
