The single biggest issue is that ‘they’ are concentrating on hospitalizations, not on transmission.
The more you turn the virus into a highly-infectious pathogen (e.g.Delta, Omicron), the higher the likelihood you will start to see hospitalizations in children too.
As the vaccines still largely protect against severe disease and hospitalizations, ‘they’think it’s a good idea to get the kids jabbed too.
What these health authorities don’t seem to understand is that the C-19 vaccines, which do no longer induce neutralizing antibodies (Abs) because of Omicron, are in fact preventing severe disease by virtue of non-neutralizing Abs (see my manuscript). The non-neutralizing Abs prevent trans infection in distant organs (including the lungs) and thereby put high immune pressure on the virus’ virulence. Of course, they have no clue that together with the infection-enhancing effect of these Abs at the upper respiratory tract, this evolution is now only expediting the breeding of variants that are not only highly infectious but also more virulent. This is to say that the vaccines will soon no longer protect against severe disease. That’s where they can forget about keeping hospitalizations low.
Public Health authorities should, of course, always focus on keeping hospitalizations low and avoiding a crash of our health system.However, what these dummies need to learn is that you have to achieve this by curbing the chain of transmission! The vaccines can’t do this, but natural immunity can, and that’s the lesson they haven’t learned yet. Suppressing natural immunity (by vaccines) during a pandemic paralyzes the sterilizing immune capacity of the population, and therefore prevents herd immunity and promotes viral immune escape.
It will take time, and, unfortunately, many human lives, before they’ll understand. It’s only when hospitalizations in highly vaccinated countries will soon explode that they’ll at least understand that it’s time to hide…

I can't help but wonder if they'll use these cases of severe (enhanced) disease in vaccinated children as the basis for mandating the C19 shots for all children (including infants). "Look, children *can* get hospitalized and die from Covid." Of course, the child's vaccination status will be conveniently withheld.
None of this is complicated really, and the fact that it is discussed almost nowhere else shows how doomed we really are.
