None of the measures in the John's Hopkins study are currently in place.

#4I don’t know how anyone can support restrictions at this point. All school aged children can be vaccinated and the vaccine is effective at decreasing hospitalization and death.

#5At this point, Omicron has made pretty much everything moot.
After this wave recedes and the hospitals unblock, I suspect everybody is going to go back to normal and treat Covid like we treat the flu.

I’m unaware of any data showing that children require vaccines to avoid hospitalization and death in large numbers.
Can you share some?

"Large" is subjective, and the vaccine moves the decimal point one or two digits in the correct direction.
Also, as a matter of practicality, you don't want a steady state where a rotating 10-20℅ of the class is out with whatever the current covid variant is.

Sure, but to the second point, the vaccines also don't materially reduce transmission

I'd love to agree with you, but having engaged with local school board trustees on a number of tangential issues, I'm pessimistic. I think there's a lot of people who have permanent scar tissue as a result of the last two years, and aren't likely to ever go back to normal.
