      It's been in the news for at least a month that there's little difference in transmissibility of Delta between the vaccinated and unvaccinated [1] [2]. Various studies published in the last two weeks confirm it [3]. Most of the vaccinated will most probably get Delta at some point. What you still get with the injections though is protection from having symptoms, being harmed and dying (most of the time anyway). So, to recap : - Virtually no childern are harmed by Covid in any capacity. - Vaccination does not change the rate of transmission - Reportedly, more children get heart damage than any kind of bad Covid outcome [4] Ergo, don't vaccinate kids.
