Sotomayor Claims 100,000 Children ‘in Serious Condition,' on ‘Ventilators'
2022-01-08
[Breitbart] CLAIM: U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor: "We have over 100,000 children, which we’ve never had before, in serious condition, many on ventilators," from coronavirus.

VERDICT: FALSE. There are about 4,000 children in hospital from coronavirus.

Justice Sotomayor made several factually false statements during oral arguments Friday at the Supreme Court, as the justices considered challenges to President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates, including a mandate on large private employers.
Or was it 100,000,000? Welcome to the island of the dreadfully misinformed. We'll be blowing the ships horn when it's time to reboard.

#17  Well, the dictum that "The law is an ass" certainly applies to some of these jokers.

#16  We have over 100,000 children, which we’ve never had before, in serious condition, many on ventilators," from coronavirus.

If they make up the facts on the fly, isn't it possible they also make up the law on the fly?

#12  I hope someone straightens ou there data before she makes legal decisions. Then again as a liberal facts probably don't really matter.

#5  I suspect the actual number is 4.000 with Covid.

#4  The actual number is ~4,000. So she was 4% correct. Roughly 20% of all hospitalized for COVID are on ventilation of some sort.

#1  Was that her attempt at a statement in favor of abortion, or is she simply wishing for that number ?

Affirmative Action, it really is the solution to misinformation and inaccurate reporting.
