The trouble is that the people apparently at risk from this are not the people at risk from Covid-19. The risk to people between the ages of 12 and 24 from Covid is really, really small. Especially towards the lower end of that age range, most countries seem to be seeing low single-digit per million deaths: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanchi/article/PIIS2352-4642(21)00066-3/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanchi/article/PIIS2352-4...

The risk of death from Covid-19 is low in that age range. But what about the risk of heart inflammation from Covid-19 in that age group, possibly with no other Covid symptoms?

  There's also the relatively high chance that you'll pass the infection on to another person, who may not be nearly as healthy/resilient as you.
