I don't get the "these people would have died soon anyway", what is that based on?
I think it's based on most deaths being old. We'll all become a death statistic some day, so I'm not getting into an imaginary prediction debate of how and when it might happen.

My point is that the "they'll die soon anyway" argument doesn't hold water when we try hard to vaccinate the same people who'll die soon against flu. So it obviously is a consideration to keep people alive.
