Literally all the epidemiology from 100 years of research since the Spanish flu. It's not even up for debate.

Simply saying children are 'super spreaders' just doesn't cut it. Statistically while children are capable of contracting the virus, they are the least at risk.
Their risk is irrelevant. It's FUD to even bring that up. They are mild/asymptomatic carriers. The most recent research out of china says they continue to shed the virus long after any symptoms have passed. It also says the asymptomatic carriers are the ones that play the greatest role in community transmission.

I have a PhD in a health science... my bubble is probably a lot better informed than yours.
