>How much more dangerous is flu for kids than covid? What about young adults? Where is the inflection point in age where covid becomes more dangerous? What about when vaccination is factored in (I.e. difference in danger from covid for a vaccinated 65 year old vs. Flu for that same person)?

Influenza can be a dangerous infection for any person at any age. However, there are some populations (based on age, vaccination status, and/or underlying health conditions) for which increased likelihood of increased disease severity is possible (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/highrisk/index.htm). This is why annual flu vaccination is suggested for everyone six months of age or older with few exceptions (see https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/vaccinations.htm ).
