Well you have every right to that opinion - and it is trending...

Now, if your opinion is driven by the numbers, then you may want to revisit the numbers. Boomers are not a small number.
Generation Z, or those born after 1997, made up the largest generation over 90 million. The Baby Boomer generation make up the second largest generation, with just over 72 million. (That’s as of 2018 stats) By age alone Baby Boomers are at risk.
Then you must calculate how many Gen Z have preexisting conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, asthma, etc. So even a 10% “at risk” in the Gen Z cohort makes the total at risk pool about even.
Again not attacking your opinion just sharing the underlying assumptions of generational differences.
