Nobody has ever claimed there are no adverse events. However the risk of the vaccine massively outweighs the risk of getting covid for every age group that's been studied so far.
Uh, I think you flipped around the words and actually wanted to say "the risk of getting covid massively outweighs the risk presented by the vaccines, for every age group".

Assuming this is the statement you actually wanted to make, it is blatantly false. The health benefit for minors has been found to exceed the risks/potential harm only marginally, to the point that the Advisory Boards on Vaccinations in various countries, among them the UK and Germany, hesitated a long time before issuing a general recommendation for the 12-15 year olds - and when they did, they justified this recommendation not with the health benefit of the vaccines for kids this age, but rather with the protection against disruption to their education. In other words: the vaccines were recommended to youngsters not because they need it to be protected from covid, but rather to prevent their schools from being closed again by governments.
This is what the British Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) had to say to secretary of health Sajid Javid:
Quote
Overall, the committee is of the opinion that the benefits from vaccination are marginally greater than the potential known harms… but acknowledges that there is considerable uncertainty regarding the magnitude of the potential harms. The margin of benefit, based primarily on a health perspective, is considered too small to support advice on a universal programme of vaccination of otherwise healthy 12 to 15-year-old children at this time…. JCVI is constituted with expertise to allow consideration of the health benefits and risks of vaccination and it is not within its remit to incorporate in-depth considerations on wider societal impacts, including educational benefits. The government may wish to seek further views on the wider societal and educational impacts from the Chief Medical Officers of the 4 nations, with representation from JCVI in these subsequent discussions.

Biden should just come out and say unvaccinated republicans shouldn't get vaccinated because every death is a net gain for democrats in 2022/2024. Those anti-vaxxers would start tripping over themselves for the vaccine
This, but unironically!
