Would probably work for healthy kids. Out of the millions of cases in the usa, only about 125 children have died from covid. And you would have to think those kids would be the poor ones who had underlying health issues.
It's the reason the UK is not recommending vaccinating children, because the risks of vaccine side effects outweigh the actual risk of getting covid for a child.
As you can see from these statistics, the deaths are nearly non-existent in children.

As of October 14, nearly 6.2 million children have tested positive for COVID-19 since the onset of the pandemic. The past week about 131,000 child COVID cases were added, the sixth consecutive weekly decrease from the pandemic peak of nearly 252,000 child cases added the week of September 2nd. However, 131,000 cases remains an extremely high number of newly diagnosed children. Over 1.1 million child cases were added over the past six weeks.
Among states reporting, children were 0.00%-0.25% of all COVID-19 deaths, and 7 states reported zero child deaths
In states reporting, 0.00%-0.03% of all child COVID-19 cases resulted in death.
The problem with adults getting it is the variability of it. You can have perfectly healthy under 30's randomly getting it and getting very sick, or dying from it in the odd case, while a whole bunch of similar aged/healthy people remain asymptomatic. It's a lottery.
