It's not so simple, though. Retired people can quarantine. They might not want to, and they might choose not to, but they're able. Working-age people can't: they have to go out into the world and put themselves at risk in order to keep this show running. The real question is: is our goal to minimize deaths, or to do what's fair? For the most part, we've chosen to heed the advice of our public health experts and minimize deaths. But is it really fair that we vaccinate all the old people first, just so they can leave their home and get back to their weekly bingo nights, instead of the younger person working at a grocery store to make sure everyone has food on the table? From an ethics perspective, I don't think the answer is so clear-cut, and I think it's reasonable for people to gripe about it.
