Why? Unvaccinated 9-year-old is as immune from COVID as a vaccinated 20-year-old is. That is, basically, completely immune. And, just like vaccinated adults, children are unlikely to spread the virus because they mostly do not have symptoms. Vaccines lower the spread by relieving the symptoms, thus making people emit fewer droplets.
I think the CDC wold beg to differ about that. Especially the bit about how asymptomiatic spread is rare. And the bit about vaccines working by relieving symptoms is strange, since I always thought that vaccines worked by stimulating the body to build up antibodies to a disease without actually making people sick, which is why vaccines tend to be given to those who haven't yet had the disease in question. You seem to be confusing vaccination with medication. Either that or your understanding of how vaccination works is missing some crucial steps, like how exactly it produces its effect of reducing symptoms.
