Actually a majority of kids have attended school this year, except in a few states and cities.  The spring and fall of 2020 not so much but the winter and spring of 2021 a whole bunch.  And this is particularly true for the millions of private schools that fully opened in 2021.  And the cases have been going down and the deaths remain exceedingly low despite them being back in school. The vast majority of states have no order regarding school closures, only five have partial closing orders and five have orders to open.  So as further evidence, despite the ever larger number of students attending school, the number of cases continue to go down and deaths are nearly non-existent.

As I said, I stand by my opinion that kids do not need to get vaccinated.  Nothing you have shown me has changed that view.  But again, the problem with what you cherry picked out of the nprBS article implied a dramatic change in kids getting the virus as evidenced by the 22% of all cases focus.  And as I pointed out, you were fooled by the misleading statistic because you never look at things critically.  Had you done so you would not have taken my quote and put this portion of the article below it.  It was not even a weak argument, it was misleading and dishonest in its framing because had they told the truth it would have supported my view, not contradicted it.
