Prof quits works re Covid hostility over his findings on low threat to children (thecollegefix.com)

I think everybody knew that it came as a low threat to children.

But TFA also says that teachers were 25 times more likely than the children to go to the ICU. That's not negligible. And teachers are understandably irate that they're being asked to take their lives into their hands while only the threats to the children make headlines.

That's no excuse for threats. That's not how polite discourse is done. But neither is a headline like this, which completely omits the threats to teachers.
