So I presume he has access to information that the ACIP at the CDC didn't in their analysis which was made accessible and available publicly?

And the risk of covid myocarditis- both in frequency and severity is greater than vaccine myocarditis which has not results in a single fatality and is typically mild. COVID myocarditis unfortunately has led to death, in children who could be alive had they been vaccinated.
Oh, and on the point that vaccines don't prevent transmission- they definitely do!! Substantially as a single measure in fact- between 50-70%. Perhaps even more so in children. Even real-world data from England backs this up, with drops in teenagers correlating with uptake: 
Worth looking at the difference in case changes - increasing in 12-15 yr olds, and reducing in 16-17 year olds as vaccine uptake increased in these groups. Of course more recent changes are at least partially down to half-term, but the data before that are quite clear.
And remember when vaccines prevent infection (they prevent symptomatic infection with >90% effectiveness with vaccines in children), they also prevent long COVID- an illness 69,000 children are estimated to suffer from in the UK now.
And yes, even 'healthy' children get impacted- by long COVID, by educational disruption due to transmission, by parents, and teachers getting ill with long COVID, or even dying, and some sadly do die.
