> Should the young be sacrificed for the old? WTF!?

That’s a misrepresentation. Should the young take a hit of -0.1 disability adjusted life years to give the rest of the population +1.0? Absolutely.

> Given that burning fossil fuels is harmful, I demand that everyone stop burning fossil fuels because it kills some people!

Good news. We’re working on this. Unfortunately it’s not as easy as giving everyone in the country two jabs.

I don’t buy your moral argument that the young should suffer disability for old people to live longer.

Ban ICE engines today, make everyone buy a Tesla. It’s possible, just like you say it’s possible to force everyone to get vaccinated. There are costs to it, not everyone wants to pay those costs! But it can be done!

>Absolutely Even if your numbers (which you've pulled out of your ass) are correct, how are you justifying this?
