See, heres' the thing. We don't know the effects of Covid later in life

I don't have children, so I am not one to make a decision for my child. But I also think people need all the information we have. 

Despite being focused on "deaths" we should, at least in children, be focused on longer term effects. Some we don't know yet. For example, in the Spanish Flu outbreak of 1918 - 1920, most of the people that died where in the prime of youth. Men and women between 18 - 22 years old, millions of them.

Only with the benefit of hindsight can we see that those same children recovered from a previous pandemic flu in 1900, when they themselves were toddlers. 

I am not saying the same thing will happen with Covid, but why expose your kids to possible future side effects we don't even know. We know Covid attacks brains, lungs and the heart. Even if you child doesn't suffer symptoms (or recovers), we don't know the long term effects.

I think these politicians are playing with future generations, and their parents are okay with that. It might be okay, but that is a hell of a gamble.
