The COVID-19 fatality risk for children is very low overall (0.002% estimated by the CDC). Those deaths have almost all been in patients with severe pre-existing health conditions such as obesity. For pediatric patients without pre-existing conditions, the death rate is virtually zero. So from a public health perspective it's most important to focus vaccination campaigns on those at greatest risk.
To be clear, I am not telling anyone to avoid vaccination for themselves or their children. Vaccination is a good option for the vast majority of patients. Talk to your doctor.
And ironically, school closures and lockdowns during the pandemic actually increased the rate of childhood obesity. The purported "cure" was not only worse than the disease, it actually made the disease worse by placing children at greater risk.
