we were talking about Hannity's late to the party conversion and how you and your friends parroted , unwittingly perhaps , every word.
No, unwittingly - pretty sure

Anyone have a link to stats for kids under 12?

excess deaths in 2020 by age groups
under 15: 93.1% of normal (meaning 6.9% fewer deaths than normal)
15-34: 120.2%
35-64: 125.2%
over 65: 119.8%
All ages: 120.0%
The gross numbers are skewed toward older people. But that is because the gross numbers are higher for older people in a normal year.
Basically covid scaled up mortality by about 20% for all age groups over 15. This conforms to a mathematical characteristic sometimes called the Gompertz Law.

I was talking more about positive cases, rate of hospitalizations, mortality, etc. For personal reasons, not political.

Every search I run just comes back filled with news about vaccine trials.

I would think the mortality data are most useful. Kids under 12 who get covid probably often don't even get tested because they are asymptomatic. My youngest is 18 and I thought it made sense to get him vaccinated (he was 17 at the time, but he was all for it). I haven't researched extensively but I think the covid health and death risks for children are quite a bit lower than for young adults or older teens. To the extent there is a case for vaccinating children it mainly has to do with the social benefits of herd immunity.
