> As of last week, a total of 727 children 0-17 have died from Covid since the pandemic started

Using death as the only negative outcome will produce completely incorrect conclusions.

We know the death rate is low for children, assuming prompt access to ICUs when necessary.

That doesn’t mean it’s harmless.

I wasn't implying that Covid is harmless, only that vaccinating children against it should be a choice given the data on risks/benefits we currently have.
