And its not even the only reason. roughly half the kids end up asymptomatic but the other half still end up sick. Normally it's not too bad for them, but a small number of them do end up in hospitals, in ICU, or on a ventilator. What parent wants to unnecessarily increase the risk of that for their children? Some kids even end up with long covid, and a (thankfully) very small number end up dead. In the end, vaccines for kids was a great idea and with everything we know now they continue to be recommended.
