> kids are at no risk, the overwhelming majority of adults are at no risk

What I've been looking for for a long time now is data on infection, hospitalization rates and mortality by vaccination status and age. They all get mixed and it's never really clear to me what the risk for, say, a vaccinated 40 year old or an unvaccinated 1 year old really is.

The CDC estimated an infection fatality rate of 0.001% for ages 0-17. The risk rises exponentially with age.

Of those children who died, the majority had serious underlying health conditions such as obesity or asthma.

This paper has some good recent data on vaccine effectiveness.
