I am a big proponent of the precautionary principle when the health of the young is concerned. I also believe that such things ought to be held sacred (whether you are religious or not).
While precautions must of course be taken to protect those at risk, one of the consequences of my positions would be that yes, even as childless as I am, I'd rather lose vaccinated > 40 y.o. people to a breakthrough infection than risk hurting a child in the short or long terms.
This is why I'd rather wait for data to come in before vaccinating the young than the other way round.
