We can have a debate on the validity of the trials and their results but this analogy is pushing a false narrative in regard to testing. Parents have to make the decision on their own about this. I have no problem with either decision and they have the final word on it. I would hope that science play the biggest impact on that decision..not weak analogies like this one.

Considering that children have a virtually statistically 0% chance of dying if they get Covid, I’m wondering why a parent would take the chance giving them the shot (it’s not a vaccine).

Can anyone really say what the long term effects of this shot are (if any)?

Your last line sums the entire argument up. I'm not going to let my child become part of the world's largest science experiment to see what potential long term effects there may be. And for those blabbering about "muh FDA says it's safe," just remember that every single class action lawsuit ad on TV that begins with "have you or a loved one ever suffered..." is the result of something the FDA previously approved as safe.
