That aside, inaction is a question of medical ethics as much as action is. Which course of actions causes less harm? The data says restricting use of vaccination in children causes less harm to the individual.

It’s in there in the minutes whether you consider it reasonable or otherwise. The basic principles of managing a pandemic - testing, contract tracing and isolating were removed from teenagers in this country (for the purpose of boosting population level immunity) at the exact same time vaccinations were rolling out to protect teenagers in others.
I fully expect you to continue to defend the indefensible, so I’m content to leave it there.
