Keep in mind this is an "opinion" piece, but some good talking points.

Last week, Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health Kieran Moore justified the immunization of children between the ages of five and 11 by claiming hospitalization and case counts for that age group were increasing. Yet, according to Ontario's own data, there had been zero hospitalizations in that age group in the past two weeks at the time of Moore's statement.

In Ontario, 1,308 cases for 0-11-year-olds in the past week, as compared to 1,037 in the prior week. That's now about 40% of the total new cases.

There may not be a lot of hospitalizations (though I don't know where to find the data) but the case counts for the kids are certainly increasing.
