Boy is this editorialized, did you even read your own study?

> Conclusions and Relevance In this study, many children and adolescents hospitalized for COVID-19 or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children had neurologic involvement, mostly transient symptoms. A range of life-threatening and fatal neurologic conditions associated with COVID-19 infrequently occurred. Effects on long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes are unknown.

1. this is among survivors of severe covid. The cohort of under 21's that get severe covid in the first place is extremely low.

2. symptoms are described as "mostly transient".

i.e you're not getting brain damage from casual covid, which is 99.9% of cases.

Even your lancet study shows for non-hospitalization cases, the "cognitive decline" is under SD=0.1 which is arguably within margin of error.

Concerns about the efficacy of cognitive aptitude tests notwithstanding. [0]
