Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and the Janssen (J&J) Covid-19 vaccines have all received emergency authorization from the FDA.

Emergency authorization and full authorization are not the same. One requires the recipients of the vaccine to be monitored for a longer period of time, as adverse impact might not be seen for months or even years.
And some people are old enough to remember the rushed into production swine flue vaccine of the 1970s that resulted in hundreds of people developing the paralyzing Guillain-Barré syndrome. I forget whether it was 60 Minutes or 20/20 that interviewed that poor woman who was perfectly healthy upon taking the vaccine, and was in a wheelchair and barely able to speak by the time they interviewed her for the story. So, some people might prefer to wait for full authorization.

I do not get why you dismiss the risks to children from the COVID but seem to think that the small increase in GBS cases is worth noting. This kind of inconsistency says a lot.

The differences in the two cases are strong. The COVID vaccine was developed over the decade and the targeting of this strain was done over a year by a number of different companies. The Swine flu vaccine was developed by one team and rushed out within months.

So when the full authorization is granted in a few weeks, will you change your tune?

Emergency authorization and full authorization are not the same.

Yeah, no shit. But you know what else isn't the same? Emergency authorization and "experimental" treatments. If you want to be the accuracy police, start in the mirror.
