There are plenty more things more dangerous to children than covid-19, and I don't see anyone here saying anything about it. But clearly YOU'RE willing to risk a child's health with a vaccine that might be more risky than the disease itself. Only reason why they even vaccinated youngsters is to protect old people like you, not the other way round.
It sounds like you’ve read about this. Can you share with us information which suggests that there is a possibility the vaccine could be more dangerous than Covid to children? My understanding up to this point is that this is about as likely as blowing up the kitchen with wrong proportions in a cake recipe; scientists who work on vaccines actually do know something about immunology.
The reason to vaccinate as many people as possible is to end the pandemic. This means reducing transmissions everywhere, including among those who don’t suffer from it themselves. This is the same reason that smart jurisdictions are promoting the HPV vaccine for children of both sexes, not just the girls who can actually get cervical cancer.
