so, an inflammatory response.

How is that bad? A vaccine is designed to cause a response by the immune system; this is certainly not pleasant, but exactly the trade against the potentially much worse effects of an actual infection.

Feeling “slightly under the weather for a couple of days, similar severity to having a cold” is what Covid looks like in most children.
Covid infection is “potentially” much worse, that’s true, but so is a drive to a vaccination site — the child might die or get seriously injured in a traffic accident. What matters is not the “potential” but rather the actual likelihood, the expected value. Has Covid been dangerous to children? The answer is, rather overwhelmingly, no.
Are you claiming this as a universal truth? Or your specific experience?
My experience and that of two of my three adult children is that it was like a slight bruise at the injection site for about 24 hours. The other child felt slightly under the weather for a couple of days, similar severity to having a cold. We all had Pfizer.
My impression is that my experience is the more common one, but it is not the one that grabs anyone's attention.
The more serious side effects seem to be vanishingly rare.
