Realistically think they should also make this roll out open to everyone, as well, once they have protected the older people and those with the at-risk conditions, of course. If we get another covid spike the amount of under 50s who are ill with it and not able to work might cause issues in its own right.

They do lessen the chances of you getting seriously ill
They do lessen the chances of those that get seriously ill subsequently dying
Is that not enough ?

Not really no.
I'm also looking forward to seeing the studies, if any are produced, that show the effectiveness of the above in fit and healthy <50 year olds, and subsequent age ranges.
I think it's clear the vaccines for the elderly and infirm helped, what's less clear is their effectiveness for younger fit and healthy people.

I think the studies showed in general that with two doses of original AZ, Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, against the original strains and similar variants such as Alpha, which were widely circulating at the time of the initial roll out and lockdown easing, the effectiveness against symptomatic infection (not just hospitalisation and death) was very high, certainly in the 90s with the mRNA vaccine.
When we got the Delta variant which was more contagious than Alpha but also had some immune escape from it, the efficacy dropped, but a third dose of the mRNA vaccine restored the efficacy to that of 2 shots against earlier variants.
By rolling out vaccine to all those people and triple dosing the vulnerable they were able to keep serious illness down though there was still significant spill over of Delta into double-vaccinated people who hadn't received a booster or third dose.
The mutations in original omicron (and the lineage variants aren't too dissimilar to be considered separate) meant that the spike protein protection most people had was much less recognisable to the immune system which is why we are now seeing plenty of vaccinated people get ill, but even then, the response from the vaccines is keeping plenty more out of hospital. Hopefully a more targeted vaccine will indeed erode at the infections and not just at the serious illness aspect and that this will be rolled out to all ages. Though I disagree that people should basically be coerced into vaccination and if they don't want it that choice should be respected.

Re: Coronavirus
I wish they offered it in chemists to buy if you're willing like they do with the flu vaccine.
I am fine if I get COVID (again) but it was very annoying. A few days lost with fatigue and then another few days of feeling a bit sluggish. I would happliy pay £15/20 whatever it is to avoid that.

How was he involved? Did he call in from Slovenia or Greece to approve the US developed vaccine?
Actually, no, because it was approved by the UK's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, not Johnson…

Beware, Old Boy may be tempted to repeat his previous line "You are getting as cynical and downbeat as the socialist-minded posters on here! Please don’t encourage them, it is extremely depressing to hear all this negative nonsense."

Even they have a degree of standards as to what gibberish they’ll publish and think people will believe….

Conclusion
The immune effect on young people after being vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccines was better than that of the elderly, but the safety was worse than that of old people; the most common AEs were fever, rash and local muscle pain, which were tolerable for young people. As the AEs of the elderly were lower, they can also be vaccinated safely, the reason for the low level of GMT in the elderly was related to Immunosenescence. The vaccine tolerance of people of different ages needs to be studied continuously.
