> I don't think this follows. Part of the benefit of vaccination is that it prevents spread and so vaccinating young and healthy people helps insulate unwell, old and immunocompromised folks. Vaccinating young and healthy people will reduce the R value and that will result in some number of unwell, elderly, and immunocompromised people avoiding infection or taking longer to get infected. That's true. However, the data on vaccinating kids seems to point to an increase in health problems for them - not of COVID but of myocarditis. So parents deciding whether to vaccinate their children need to consider the circumstances of their individual child.
