3.5/n (Note: this is excluding low-quality seroprevalence estimates with selection bias issues. These cannot be trusted to give us an accurate estimation of infection rates by age)

14/n That being said, when we look at good quality seroprevalence estimates, in almost all cases after the initial surge it looks like we did in fact protect elderly people (at least to some extent)

15/n Yes, elderly people have died more from COVID-19, but that's an obvious consequence of the age-stratified IFR. If lots of people get infected, lots of old people will be infected by default
