Flu has a widely available vaccine that at times is 40% effective, and a HUGE amount of the public never gets.
I know, I've been offering it for years, and lots of people say no. And those are just the people who see the doctor.
Influenza vaccination has never been a prerequisite for normal life, like, ever....
But yes, among the elderly COVID is far more deadly, I'm aware of this
