I think you missed the punchline. And the point of the example. Let me simplify:

International mass immunization campaigns are not cheap, quick, or easy.

That is a large broad perspective, true.

But the article headline implies the virus killed the workers. That is as true as saying a motorcycle accident death was counted as a COVID-19 death.

Machetes are a civil violence issue, for whatever enraged reason.

I disagree, you did not understand what I said,

Trying to come up with a single vaccine that works for all coronaviruses. Seems like a worthy cause if possible.

AZ conducting child trials...

There are anti-vaxxers, and then there are African anti-vaxxers!

The headline is clickbait, but not Excargo’s clickbait.

have any other vaccines started this?

First one I've heard of.

It’s harder to get it by the institutional review board when you are proposing a human subject study with a still-emergency use vaccine on a population in which the disease has so very little risk. It is not exactly unexpected that they may want a few million person-years experience in adults (which won’t really take all that long and manufacturers can’t meet current demand on it anyway) before permitting trials on younger people.

Or from a different perspective, even if these were approved for use in children, they’d still be last in priority to get this because, yes, while they MIGHT get it, and it MIGHT even kill them, they have a greater risk from influenza in a typical influenza year. Worldwide, measles is a greater threat for kids.

Another perspective... there may be a desire to vaccinate kids so that union teachers no longer have an excuse to stay home, get paid, and not do their jobs. Zoom schooling pretty clearly has more mental and physical health ramifications for kids than potential covid infection.
