I would fully expect the movement to gain strength.

Some balance needs to be found between risk and cost so that the people that are not at risk don't have to carry the brunt of the costs.

Because that's really where this is going, we a ruining the youth, take away their prospects yet they are not the ones that would be primarily impacted.

I don't see how losing their older relatives to a virus that they could have avoided doesn't qualify those people as "impacted".

This is the same logic as saying women were most affected by war since they lost their husbands.

edit: how on earth was this [dead]ed

No, it's not. I'm not saying that people losing their relatives are somehow more impacted than those who die. I'm simply saying that you can't say that categories of people more likely to survive an infection aren't impacted.

Are there cranks, nutjobs and trolls in this sub?

Yes.

Are there reasonable people with valid concerns and perspectives worth considering?

Also yes.
