BS isn't needed to make the case to get children vaccinated - just the facts. If I were a parent of a child I'd have zero hesitation to vaccinate my child. The risks of the vaccine are essentially zero (zero severe side effects have been reported so far in children, although rare allergic responses are possible, but easily dealt with) and the benefits, while clearly not as great as for middle-aged and older people, are still substantial.
We've had about 15 deaths per 1MM kids under 18 from COVID (350 in 23MM infected, roughly, out of 68MM, assuming ~35% infected, as per antibody studies) and I haven't heard of anyone under 18 who has been vaccinated who got COVID and died (it's about 1 in 1MM for those 18-65).
Plus, the rate of hospitalization is generally about 3-5X greater than the death rate so maybe 40-70 per 1MM kids who've gotten COVID (and again the vaccines bring that to near zero) become hospitalized. In addition to affording nearly full protection from a fairly low risk, vaccination makes it far less likely that those kids will infect others.
