evidence: CLAIM: Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said that "only 0.02%" of children will die when returning to school during the pandemic. [...] "So, Betsy Devos today said "only" .02% of kids are likely to die when they go back to school. That’s 14,740 children. Welcome back!," a Twitter user posted on July 11. "Betsy DeVos says that ‘only’ 0.02% of children will probably die as a result of schools re-opening. That’s 14,740 children. That’s about 40 times the number of school shooting victims from the last 10 years," another Twitter user falsely stated on July 12. The false tweet had nearly 70,000 retweets.
