There's no way to show these shots are efficacious in the under 18 group with any amount of doses.
Where I live, 0.05% (yes, 5 per 10k) of total deaths (remember, we're only comparing confirmed cases, actual cases much larger) affected those under 50. For those under 18, deaths since the pandemic began are literally single digits.
You might decry comparing deaths of a demographic against total cases, but it's essential. People under 50 simply aren't as vulnerable to having any symptomatic level of infection.
Since we're talking single digit deaths under 18, I don't think there's a scientific way to say those deaths were caused by this pandemic in any fashion. It's beyond statistically insignificant, these are most likely children on chemo or have some other very serious underlying condition.
