And I don't know how much better natural immunity is vs. the vaccines, but I can guarantee it isn't "infinitely"

Bwaahahaha! In age group 0 to 17 there have been 439 covid deaths
In age group 0 to 17 there have been 4,465,332 confirmed covid cases. Because kids are asymptomatic at higher rates than adults CDC estimates 26,838,244 total cases in kids 0 to 17.
Lets do the math. Using confirmed cases (4,465,332) the chance of a kid dying from covid is 0.009%. Thats 9/100,000 as a fraction
Using CDC estimated number for total cases 0 to 17 (26,838,244) the chance of a kid dying from covid is 0.001%. That's 1/100,000 as a fraction.
Both of these calculations show a better chance of survival (by far) than a fully vaccinated adult.

What a ridiculous endeavor and waste it would be to vaccinate 74 million kids and make them sit in school with useless facemasks.
Every kid counts right? About 70,000 die every year, and we are going to inject all 74 million of them with a vaccine they clearly don't need.
What a laugh.
