@FractalEcho @vivsmythe Though I am unable to read your linked research, I am not surprised to see that you have a PhD in Philosophy and are currently a member of faculty at Rutgers? That information gives some insight.

It is a moral and ethical dilemma that global society has made decisions regarding the current pandemic that will increase deaths for a minority of the world population.

Doctors in the ICU report
A rising of Covid cases they note
It's still quite severe
But not like before
For older folks, weak immune system the most

@FractalEcho I appreciate your comment. I disagree that you give it a label of “eugenics”.

When a human pathogen, such as the novel Covid-19 virus, is found to be a threat to mortality, like other viruses and bacterial infections before it, it is likely that those with weaker health including the elderly, disabled and immunocompromised are more likely to die.

This is not news but verifiable, scientific evidence.

arguments are not based in a defence of btw and one clear indication of this is how much anti vaxx hinges on the figure of The whom these people intend to 'protect' from and often other interventions---which is to say, a they view as totally lacking autonomy, bodily and otherwise, and whose medical decisions they intend to make unilaterally. anti vaxx arguments are complicated but if i had to say they're 'about' just one thing i would argue it's . that it sometimes wears the rhetoric of bodily autonomy, religious , &c doesn't change the that these positions are fuelled by a disregard for , , and young people's in , and by continually stoked fears that vaccines are a kind of black-box threatening to give The Child autism or other disabilities

Using superannuation to pay for nursing home care could be an option for future generations but don't most of the current retirees have houses they bought for a song in the '70s or '80s that they can sell to fund their nursing care?

Oh, bless, watch "Om jag sitter mig ner nu, dör jag" (If I sit down now, I'll die) documentary about a 105-year-old Swedish blogger, Dagny Carlsson, if you can. She's utterly delightful, and her meeting a 106yo woman was lovely as well.
