+**COVID-19 vaccines and children** is a highly controversial topic for many reasons. For simplicity, children here are defined as those persons under 18 years of age. The arguments for vaccinating youth are generally similar among those under 18 years of age, though there exists some variation in the risk profile within this age group. Where necessary, those arguments are separated by more specific age classes.
+===== Risk-Benefit Analysis =====
+  * Feb 7, 2022 - Claim: Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine increases Children’s risk of Death by 5100% according to the Office for National Statistics.((February 7, 2022 | [[:The Expose]] | [[https://dailyexpose.uk/2022/02/07/covid-vaccinated-children-5100-percent-more-likely-to-die/|Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine increases Children’s risk of Death by 5100% according to the Office for National Statistics]]))
+  * February 20, 2022 - in a blog post, Stats Jamie shows how "it would take around four million vaccine doses to two million children [aged 5-11] to prevent one admission to ICU".((https://www.statsjamie.co.uk/4-million-doses-in-children-needed-to-prevent-1-icu-admission/))
+  * The FDA did its own analysis that tried to compare the risk of vaccine myocarditis versus the risk of hospitalization or death from infection on page 34 [[https://www.fda.gov/media/153447/download|Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee Meeting-October 26, 2021]]. One can glean from this a Number Needed to Vaccinate to save one child's life at 1 million, so 2 million shots.  One could then go further and wonder how many close calls with anaphylactic shock before the vaccines actually cost more lives than they save for this age group.  Not sure if natural immunity from natural infection was included in their calculations or not.
