Well, we can protect the elderly to a degree. [...] So, yes, I do think there are things we could have done to protect the elderly to a degree.

I think that you and I are talking past each other, to an extent.

The elderly have the duty to protect themselves.

When The State intercedes, and says that I have the duty to alter my lifestyle, submit to vaxxination, etc. - in order to protect someone else, THAT'S where tyranny begins. And I don't think that you or I wants that.

(You, on the other hand, are probably speaking of a person protecting his elderly loved ones - which is another thing entirely.)

Yup, individually, as a responsible, free will individual, not a drone of the state.
