This is often experience discrimination rather than age discrimination.
It’s ok to gate keep certain things based on experience. Experience is valuable.
Experience discrimination is a cornerstone to how we credible resource the most important problems in our society.

This might sound crazy but if you’re being forced to use scrum, you could try daily sprints. Obviously, you can’t do every ritual every day. But you can prioritise and commit to a plan based on what matters most each day.

I had a bad reaction to an mRNA vaccine that I’m still dealing with, and feel exactly the same as you do. This technology is too important to politicise. We need to look at it scientifically, make it better, and continue to deploy it in situations where the risk profile makes sense.
