@PeterHotez What’s amazing is you seem to think these posts vindicate you. They do not. These propagandist articles in support of your cowardice are the death throes of journalism.

This was the part where electeds with integrity were supposed to apologize for reckless covid policies that unnecessarily harmed children. Instead, we get this garbage.
If we would have kept schools open during COVID, like my colleagues across the aisle on @edworkforcecmte are suggesting, people would have died. COVID killed over 1.13 million Americans. Why should we have let it kill more?

I have compassion for hypochondriacs but should they influence public policies? . On Wednesday, @rweingarten acknowledged that, as a New Yorker, her (irrational) fear informed school policies. It’s noteworthy that her wife is a spiritual leader at a Manhattan synagogue that.
Covid scared the nation, but we tried to do everything we could to reopen schools safely. It would have helped if Trump/DeVos helped instead of hectored. Now we must do everything we can to help kids learn & overcome the effects of the pandemic.

The mandate to spend less on lunches for kids in @nycschools is spelled out in a memo by the DOE’s Office of Food and Nutrition Services. It says the menu was “redesigned” this month “to feature products that will align with a necessitated reduced cost per meal.”
