In an analysis
5 of German schools, Haas’s team found that infections were less common in children aged 6–10 years than in older children and adults working at the schools. “The potential to transmit increases” with age, and adolescents are just as likely to transmit the virus as adults, he says. Teenagers and teachers should be the focus of mitigation measures, such as wearing masks or a return to online lessons when community transmission is high, says Haas.
This gradient in infectiousness is emerging in other data sets, too. In the United States, the rate of infection is twice as high in children aged 12–17 years as it is among 5–11-year-olds
6. According to data on
200,000 school students across 47 US states gathered by economist Emily Oster at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, incidence was highest in high-school students, followed by those in middle school and then elementary school.

It does not mean younger kids CANNOT transmit the virus at all, just not as easily as easily as adults. The article even says kids in high school and middle school can transmit the disease and masking and social distancing is an ALL schools.
But all of this has been reduced significantly due to masks and social distancing within the schools.
FACT
Vaccines are not about transmission. YOU brought in vaccines, I nor did the science articles I mentioned raise it either. We are talking about transmission.
