What I am trying to say, is from the dynamic point of view they are not that different when averaged over a long enough timeframe (say a year). The loss of life is comparable if you have a single outbreak or many small ones.

If endemic disease includes a larger burden of elderly people - as it does for many endemic respiratory diseases - the idea that 'community immunity' reached through infecting younger people would be less fatal is wrong

I never said that. Period and simple. What I said is that the more you drag it without the proper measures in the place that guarantee an spread pattern that minimizes deaths, you are doing it wrong. Random spreading is the worst ethical way.

Oh, if that's your only point then we obviously agree. I don't think anyone has ever seriously suggested that elderly populations shouldn't be protected to some extent
