No, this has nothing to do with vaccines or keeping schools closed down than it probably was necessary. But I still don't see how this is a hoax, even without data — and COVID isn't special in this regard, children contribute greatly to the spreat of airborne infections: in urban areas in most countries they stay together in larger groups than say people in offices, younger children aren't hygiene-conscious…

Even if children don't get seriously ill, they still serve as major spreaders. If COVID is indeed different in this regard — now that should be proven instead, that's where you'd probably need numbers — not to confirm what is true for any airborne virus.

That is why schools and kindergardens usually get closed down early on in case of any epidemiological risk, it's only logical. It's just that it's usually done on district or city level, not nationwide. Claiming that children do not contribute to the spread of viral disease — WTF is that? Sounds like bullshit to me, word mingling ("unlikely") at best 🤷
