There was a recent twin study (and Netflix show) done that makes for compelling evidence that a healthy vegan diet leads to better cardiovascular health than a healthy omnivorous diet:

That being said, I think that an unhealthy vegan diet can be worse than an unhealthy omnivorous diet, because you really do have to be careful to eat a variety of foods and supplement in order to get everything that your body needs. This is especially true for children.

I follow a vegan Youtuber who regularly points out how unhealthy the advice that other vegan influencers give can be. Here's her video on beginner tips for becoming vegan:
