> That is not going to make you feel any better if it is your kid who is one of these "negligible" deaths.

True, but that's not a good argument. There's not enough data on the vaccine yet to be rule out the possibility that kids could also die from the vaccine, in some very rare cases. The death rate for kids infected with Covid is so low that we need a lot more data in vaccination studies to determine whether Covid or the vaccine has a higher death rate.

(FWIW, my kids are vaccinated - but not because of the death rate, but because of long covid)
