Kids need to be vaccinated to assist in our country getting to herd immunity.
Regarding deaths as a direct result of the vaccine, I would imagine there are those who were not able to tolerate just the simplest of routine side effects. The elderly sometimes, so close to death to begin with, could die just from flu like symptoms. The mRNA vaccines have been determined to be extremely safe and I'll continue to keep my trust in them.

You want to see children who have little risk from this virus be vaccinated, not for their own good, but for the good of others? I find that mindset to be a bit alarming.
According to your estimations, people dying from COVID vaccine reactions would be the same people at risk from dying of COVID in the first place. They are a high risk group for a reason - they are old and have health problems.
The reality, however, is that young people in very low risk groups have reported side effects from this vaccine. My own kids are old enough to decide whether or not to get vaccinated all by themselves. But, as a parent, there is no way that I would take them to get vaccinated as i do not think that the vaccine is necessarily in their best interests.
