And which took the biggest losses of life? Funny how children, up to 13 which my oldest age, not really complained that much.

Opening everything up now, without a adequate vaccination rate, would just put them at a huge health risk. Right after the social impact they already had.

And the social impact, IMHO, affected everyone.

Young children are at greater risk from influenza. Why do you think they have been barely affected by COVID this whole time, but somehow in the future, they will suddenly be the ones dying?

Delta is already worse among younger people. That means younger people, not just children, will be infected and affected more. Having unvaccinated children at school also makes future school closures more likely.

We have to reach a point where Covid becomes endemic and we, people, society, are good to love with it. We will reach this point quicker the faster we vaccinate everyone. I guess we can agree school closures are not so good thing, right?
