In regards to the question of vaccinating children, which is the nub of your post. It is not anti-vax to be hesitant and even critical of the need to vaccinate a cohort where the evidence is extremely thin as to the benefit it provides. As I understand it , the difference in impact to the health of the child due to potential side-effects of the Vaccine v's the impacts of the health of the child contracting Covid are negligible.
There is no tangible benefit. So for my two young children I'm not going to stick anything in their arm that isn't going to be of any benefit to them.
That's not anti-vax.
