I wouldn't be so quick to jump to the conclusion that not getting covid is better than not getting the vaccine for children. There are studies coming out showing heart inflammation in younger people caused by the vaccines. We should weigh up all the info to make a properly informed decision. Trials are there for a reason after all. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01630-0 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01630-0

It’s certainly worth evaluating, but if you read the study it says that the risk is 10-20x lower in getting the vaccine vs in getting COVID itself. Assuming you live in a world where COVID is rampant (we do), it sounds like the vaccines are a good call.

  From the study "Subgroup analyses by age showed the increased risk of myocarditis associated with the two mRNA vaccines was present only in those younger than 40."
