Dr. Aseem Malhotra - initially pro-vax, he changed his mind after his father died. His father died six months after being vaccinated, at the age of 73. Dr. Malhotra was already fussing with the British medical establishment over the use of statins and his promotion and claims for his celebrity diet. Look him up.
Covid-19 presents a negligible risk for adults younger than the age of 60"
You say that as if he were wrong. The risk of death if you are not old, or do not have comorbidities, is negligible. Much less than 1 percent. He is absolutely right.
Even if 200k died, which is probably a very suspect number, you as usual confuse prevalence with individual risk. It is not a big number considering how many people got infected and survived.
As an analogy - if you give peanut butter to a billion people you will almost certainly get several thousands dying of severe allergic reactions to the peanut butter. But peanut butter is not dangerous. The reason is that in large enough numbers you will always produce certain results, even when the risk of that result is individually very low.
Conversely, people underestimate the risk when the occurrence is rare. Tetanus has a 6 percent fatality rate even with treatment. It is at least 600 percent more deadly than covid. But we do not worry about it or even consider it a personal risk because getting tetanus is fairly rare. But if tetanus infected as many people as covid you would have hundred of million dead. It just seems less deadly because the actual numbers of dead is low (due to low prevalence) while covid seems more dangerous because of the higher number of dead (due to high prevalence).
Covidiots fall for the tuchidiocy of being unable to assess individual risk every time.
Standard cautions folks:

You are correct
Pre mRNA mass vaccination, in 2020, kids were asymptomatic and or mild to no symptoms.
