Do child COVID vaccines merit blanket Emergency Use Authorization? With @sdbaral and @VPrasadMDMPH, we suggest the low COVID risk to children undercuts such a regulatory decision, and that accelerated mass child vaccination carries underappreciated risks.https://medium.com/@wpegden/covid-19-vaccines-in-children-6cdff15b2415?source=friends_link&sk=49487d63149fc87e859deedf0d577eba …

Risk of death for 12-15yo is ~1 in 40-60,000 Risk of hospitalization is ~1 in 1,000(?) So vaccinating 1M 12-15yo could potentially prevent ~20 deaths and 1,000 hospitalizations? I see how we'd want a large trial sample to assess safety. I think the authors ask: is 1,131 enough?

Sure, and that's potentially a useful discussion, but presenting this as a one-sided answer where there is no possibility of benefit for the majority of children is clearly incorrect

How many lost grandparents; One would expect that number would be hundreds of thousands. btw: thanks to my children's grandparents for contributing so much to the raising of our children.
