” I see this style of thought a lot, which I find extremely short sided and problematic. It’s like “well they were old anyway so who cares if they die.”

I challenge you to quote the portion of my comment where I said anything resembling this.

I stated facts about IFR and its strong age-dependence. I made no judgments about what policies we should pursue based on these facts.

You’re right — you didn’t have any judgments per se now that I re-read this. The language was very similar to a lot of arguments people are currently making why we shouldn’t care so much about the virus.
