I don’t see how any of this is relevant. Nobody is calling people leftovers. Elderly & immunocompromised people existed before Covid, too. All we’re saying is that we’re not going to attempt to avoid an unavoidable Coronavirus, especially when those attempts come with great harm.

I don't even think this is an endless booster scenario. Plus, different NPIs have different social costs. Very little of it was done in a hierarchy I'd prefer, but here we are, facing an antibody evading variant wave which will re-threaten the elderly greatly.

Thank you for posting. Again, appreciate the discussion, even if we disagree. Given transmission will continue in perpetuity, I think the focus should be more on monitoring severe outcomes rather than cases. Sustained drops in severe cases = commensurate drop in restrictions.

Like all pandemics before, at some point, you get enough seroconversion in the population (well, except HIV but that's really a special case, ended up with us having to rewrite the textbooks).
