Even for children, the risk of vaccination is likely to be orders of magnitude lower than the risk of COVID-19. The only reason to oppose it out of hand is ignorance

Does this mean we should be vaccinating all children now? Of course not! Clinical trials are ongoing But dismissing the idea out of hand is absurd

So what you are saying is that kids need it. Great. Noted.

If the combined positives from protection and less virus making the rounds (what with mutation potential and the like) would far outweigh any risks from the vaccine, then why not? Seems like a sound risk analysis.

Are you saying that the CV-19 vaccine, once proven "safe" for children, conveys better future protection than natural infection?

Why would you risk unknown potential complications of a virus? You know why people vaccinate for Mumps?

Someone trying to claim young people don't need vaccination drew my attention to this: a person in their 20s has as much risk of death from covid as a 50 yr old from normal flu... Who we would normally recommend they get a flu vaccine. +Long covid mitigation obvspic.twitter.com/o3FRlOdVnZ

Plus, at some point children become adults. So assuming the trials show it is as safe in children as it is in adults (which I see no reason they wouldn't) then why wait a few years to do it and risk transmission to vulnerable groups and things like long Covid?
