At this point, the vaccine is as experimental as getting COVID. We have lots of data on both. Said data shows that 7 year olds are much more likely to have serious affects from COVID than from the vaccine. That's not to say serious outcomes from covid are at all likely. Just that the relative risk is lower with the vaccine. To reiterate, the absolute risk is tiny, so it's really not a big deal. But if you truly understand statistics, then you will also see that everyone will be exposed to COVID and you are better off with the vaccine than without no matter the age cohort. And the vaccine reduces transmission (less so than we had hoped, but a reduction, nonetheless), no one ever said it would 100% stop transmission. I suppose taking an experimental vaccine seems unnecessary if you consider a wild virus to be natural, maybe even artisinal, and you ignore the fact that while the vaccine is quality controlled and the same as what billions of people have now received, and the virus is constantly mutating, well then I guess the virus sounds safer.
