Why do people make a claim like this but then don’t elaborate as to WHY keeping schools closed is a threat to public health.

It annoys the crap out of me when I’m reading an article.

It was the same with the article about banning Tiktok. The whole article kept saying how problematic Tiktok is and how much of a threat it is to national security, but never once elaborated as to specifically why it’s such a threat.

Greater than what? I’m open to listening to alternative view points, but this guy needs to address why it’s a greater health risk to leave kids at home.

I haven't seen the interview where it was pulled from so I could be wrong here, but I'd guess that he did explain, but the person writing the article didn't care enough to add that.

They got the one quote/soundbite they needed to run the article, and that's all they cared about.
