Don’t know where you are, but in the UK and the US, old and/or obese is nothing like a tiny minority.

It's really a problem everywhere, UK & US are just leading the charge. E.g. Germany has over half the population overweight, and a solid 1 in 4 are obese. While that doesn't match the US, it's not exactly something to brag about.

I can't be bothered to grab numbers, but in the US, and perhaps elsewhere, I'd wager that the number of people a) over 55, or b) obese, or c) otherwise high risk make up more than half the population, or very much near it.

It just old and sick people dying, don't worry about it!
Lucky children can't vote, lets start vaccinations!
I somewhat kid, but COVID is a real life example where a tiny minority has ruled over the overwhelming majority.
