People like you forget:

* Vaccination are meant to prevent the spread of the virus

* we don't know anything about long term effects of an Covid infection

* Covid could mutate into a super deadly virus if it stays around

* Vaccines don't prevent the spread of the virus

* We don't know anything about the long term effects of the vaccine

* Covid could mutate into a super mild virus. In line with the science, and the current mutation trajectory

If the virus mutates so drastically as to become super deadly to children, how likely is it that current vaccines will make a difference?

They might not make a difference. The point is to stop it spreading now, so it hopefully never gets a chance to mutate into something much much worse.

That sounds like a calculation by poetic metaphors. There's always been a concern that mutations that cause greater virulence could shift death to younger people via a metabolism paradox like swine flu seemed to have. Death sounding drastic doesn't mean a more drastic genetic difference than the mutations so far.
