Having your children’s lungs scarred to 20% function and not getting to realize it’s even happened until they start a sport or something doesn’t sound fun to me, perhaps that’s why.

Citation please. What children had this happened to? You can’t throw out fear mongering claims about terrible outcomes with no data.

Also, are you aware that children sometimes die from RSV and even the common cold? The problem COVID vaccines for kids are facing is that the problems from COVID in that age are so infrequent that they are essentially in the noise.

I think the very young child (<18 months) is at higher risk, though.

The entire point is that the vaccine didn't improve the risk profile for kids under 5.

Which means that scenario playing in your head is just as likely to happen (or more likely, not happen) whether your children are vaccinated or not.
