[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] The CDC is setting the record straight after Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
Justice Sonia Sotomayor claimed that the Omicron variant has placed 100,000 US children in the hospital, with CDC Director Rochelle Walensky stating that just a mere fraction of that number of kids has been hospitalized.In an interview with "Fox News Sunday," Walensky confirmed to host Bret Baier that fewer than 3,500 children are in the hospital with COVID-19.
While the number of children hospitalized with COVID-19 remains low, the CDC chief stressed the importance of getting vaccinated against the virus, stating that those children that were hospitalized generally were not vaccinated.
"Yeah, but, you know, here's what I can tell you about our pediatric hospitalizations now," Walkensky said. "First of all, the vast majority of children who are in the hospital are unvaccinated, and for those children who are not eligible for vaccination we do know they are most likely to get sick with COVID if their family members aren't vaccinated."

's vaccine mandate on Friday, Sotomayor claimed that "We have over 100,000 children, which we've never had before, at death's door and many on ventilators." The justice was later lambasted for using the alarmist language Friday and overstating the number of child hospitalizations.
Walensky also noted that the number of those in the hospital that have COVID-19 generally include patients who go to hospitals for other reasons and happen to test positive while they are there, as opposed to those who go to the hospital because they are sick with COVID-19.
