Ps
I hope you are making suitable contributions for your pension
Oh believe me I don't have the boomer entitlement around things like pensions, I seriously doubt I will get a pension from the government at all and the retirement age is already 7 years later than my life expectancy anyway, a gap which is likely to widen before I am even close to retirement. So yes I have my own arrangements in place, plans impacted negatively by this lockdown, a lockdown to save those I am already paying to be retired and enjoy all their tax payer funded perks, perks that I will not be endowed with, nor any generation behind me.

Wonder how these young pups would feel if the virus mutates and begins to infect and kill the younger generation and leaves us older vaccinated people alone?
If it is effecting the vast majority of the population then obviously the attitude would be different, a poor point poorly made.
But if there was to be a virus that only stuck down 32 year old men than I would hold the same mentality, the country and everyone in it shouldnt be put on hold for a small number of people. Protect the vulnerable but keep calm and carry on.

It's OK in theory to say lock the oldies down as they are at risk and leave everyone else to get on with their lives but viruses want to spread and if they only people they can infect is the young then they will mutate. It's about stopping the spread so it can't mutate further not just stopping the elderly from dying.
Still living in that fantasyland where vaccinated people are impervious to mutations of the virus I see....
