The COVID-19 pandemic

[tomh009]

Using CDC data since they have a bigger data set:

• 2% of infected kids (0-9) are hospitalized
  
• 1% of infected kids are sent to ICU (yes, typically with intubation)
  
• 0.035% of infected kids have died 
  

As for the vaccinations,

• 0.00011% of recipients (0-18 in this case, sorry) died after the injection
  

For this, I could not find a more detailed analysis of the root cause, how many of those actually were caused by the vaccination, sorry.

If only 1 kid in 10 caught COVID, the risk of death from the disease would be at least 35x that of risk of death from the vaccine. Also, a substantially high risk of the kids being sent to the ICU.

And, as others have said, vaccinating the kids (really, vaccinating any given person) helps protect everyone else as well. It's the greater good.
