The only people pushing COVID isn't a risk for kids are

not physicians that care for kids.

COVID has killed 350-500 kids during a time where masks, distancing, school closures, etc where happening. Flu in that time period killed 1. Now we are removing all those measures and kids less than 12 can't get the vaccine.

Death isn't the only downside of COVID for kids. Long COVID in kids is real. Myocarditis happens in about 1/50 and it tends to be more severe than than the myocarditis from the vaccines that happens somewhere between 1/3,000-6,000 kids in Israel. 95% of those cases from Israel where asymptomatic.
