NYT is paywalled, but all articles about it that I have read are a mix of scary anecdotes without statistics ("Johnny was unable to remember his biology lessons" - how often does that happen" and statistics about "x% experience 'such' ongoing symptoms", where "such" is sneakily a mix of severe and non severe symptoms that can be lumped together under "long covid" to make it sound scarier.

Not saying there is no risk, but I wish there were some clearer statistics about it. There should be enough data by now.

I personally think that if there really was a significant risk for kids, it would have been clearly communicated by now.
