Should kids be vaccinated?

Skeptics of vaccinating children are likely to point out that covid-19 deaths among children are rare. This is true: 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that 226 children under age 18 have died from the disease. Most had some type of medical condition that put them at risk.  23 percent were obese and 12 percent had diabetes. 

A study from FAIR Health  of approximately half the nation’s private insurance data found that children without chronic conditions had a covid-19 mortality rate of zero.

A large meta-analysis in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases found kids are less likely to be the source of household outbreaks. There was not a single reported case of viral transmission from child to teacher in a study of 90,000 school children in North Carolina during the pandemic, 

Preventing covid-19 in kids could also mean preventing disability from long covid is just a theory.  Though it appears to be less common in children than in people in their 30s and 40s, there’s still a lot we don’t know.

So why are we vaccinating these youngester is they are not affected by the disease. The vaccine is not approved yet. It is under Emergency Use Only

Just a thought.
