While the article is correct to say that COVID-19 deaths are rare in children, it drastically underplays the severity of other potential harm, such as MIS-C. The CDC also states that vaccination is more effective than having prior infection for creating immunity. https://www.cdc.gov/mis/mis-c.html https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0806-vaccination-protection.html
