Not to say that it's not lethal for some but AIUI they're more likely to have either no or the mildest of symptoms. The real, serious risk is of them bringing it home to their families and of infecting the immunity-compromised.I'm hoping it won't be too long before there's a safe, effective one for under 5's.
Fortunately Medsafe has just approved the Pfizer vaccine for children over 5.
I don't think this is a case of anti vaxers being happy to see children die from the virus at all, more that they see it as a harmful, bad thing rather than understanding that its the best weapon against covid & the more who are vaccinated, the higher chances are that children won't catch it.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
