【Full Text】"The science should not stand in the way of this." by Kayleigh McEnany

I think,her comment is contradicted by itself.

How on earth does she think whether science is important or not ?

I can NOT judge it from the below text.

Press Briefing by Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany | 7/16/2020

============================

Q    Well, you talked about earlier, with school districts — what we’re seeing is more school districts — at least in Virginia, for example, last night — deciding to go online only.  What does the President say to parents out there who are now going, “Okay, what do I do with my kids?”

MS.MCENANY:  You know, the President has said unmistakably that he wants schools to open.  And I was just in the Oval talking to him about that.  And when he says open, he means open in full — kids being able to attend each and every day at their school.

The science should not stand in the way of this.  And as Dr. Scott Atlas said — I thought this was a good quote — “Of course, we can [do it].  Everyone else in the…Western world, our peer nations are doing it.  We are the outlier here.”

The science is very clear on this, that — you know, for instance, you look at the JAMA Pediatrics study of 46 pediatric hospitals in North America that said the risk of critical illness from COVID is far less for children than that of seasonal flu.

The science is on our side here, and we encourage for localities and states to just simply follow the science, open our schools.  It’s very damaging to our children: There is a lack of reporting of abuse; there’s mental depressions that are not addressed; suicidal ideations that are not addressed when students are not in school.  Our schools are extremely important, they’re essential, and they must reopen.
