> UK chief medical adviser Chris Whitty was grabbed and shoved in the street
Well he was, but that was nothing to do with him being a scientist nor vicious anti-vaxxers roaming the streets attacking people, it was a couple of idiot drunks who recognised him from the TV and decided to take a non-consensual selfie with him.
That doesn't work for people who need to be publicly accessible to some degree, like public health officials or school board members. But yes, I suppose most experts in the field could hide and never speak out instead of sharing their expertise.

Keep your real name off of social media.
