Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor falsely claimed that 100,000 children are in “serious condition” from Covid during oral arguments on the Biden administration’s employer vaccine mandate on Friday.
“We have hospitals that are almost at full capacity with people severely ill on ventilators. We have over 100,000 children, which we’ve never had before, in serious condition, and many on ventilators,” Sotomayor claimed.
The current number of confirmed pediatric hospitalizations with Covid in the U.S. is 3,342, according to data from the Department of Health and Human Services released on Friday. The average number of children admitted to the hospital per day with Covid was 776 as of Tuesday, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Additionally, the total number of children hospitalized with Covid from August 2020 through January 4, 2022 is 81,923, the CDC states.
CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said in a statement on Friday that “pediatric hospitalizations are at their highest rate compared to any prior point in the pandemic.” However, Walensky also told reporters that CDC data on pediatric Covid hospitalizations included some patients who were admitted to the hospital for a separate issue.
Sotomayor’s comments came as the Court heard arguments on the Biden administration’s employer vaccine mandate, which states that businesses with 100 or more employees must require Covid vaccinations for all workers and weekly testing for those workers who do not get vaccinated. Challengers claim that the agency charged with developing and enforcing the mandate, the Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration, does not have the Constitutional authority to do so.
The “Wise Latina” is dumber than AOC!
The entire population of children is at threat from people like her.
The lefturds don’t need facts. No one holds them accountable for the effluent that pours forth from their pieholes...
Dumb POS!
Good grief! How completely idiotic to claim something so easily unproven. Just smacked her own credibility.
I hope she is ashamed of her ignorance, but I think her head is where the light does not shine.
Anyone who publicly dubs themselves a “Wise ‘fill-in-the-blank” isn’t !
The question is not if she is spouting nonsense - the question is if anybody is pushing back against her and demanding that she show proof of the crazy things she is claiming?
I do not know all of the protocols of arguing cases at the Supreme Court but is a lawyer allowed to raise their hand and say, “Ummm Madame Justice, that is actually NOT true and is, in fact, wildly incorrect”?
Even if it were true, what does that have to do with the law, and the legal issues concerning the mandate that are before the Court?
If Congress wants to pass a mandate, they can. Neither the President nor the Courts can.
I listened to the whole thing later ...I didnt hear where natural immunity (antibodies after having the Wu Hu Flu) was mentioned
Why wasnt it ???
Many of those workers have natural immunity ...
Plus the US ??? female sounded idiotic ...she never did explain just whom the unjabbed were endangering (other than already fully jabbed and boostered workers who are supposed to be safe from getting and spreading etc)
Since the jabbed are fully protected why would the unjabbed be any danger ... or just dont bother to get jabbed since it doesnt work and everyone is unprotected either way ...
She must have left her wise at home, once again.
Not certain but it is a horse race!
However, Walensky also told reporters that CDC data on pediatric Covid hospitalizations included some patients who were admitted to the hospital for a separate issue.
And if you think that the 'Experts' WANT this ambiguity to REMAIN, you are in the right camp!
Wise so called ‘latina’ and doesnt speak one word of Latin ...
There are far more children in “serious condition” from having taken the COVID-19 mRNA shot than from the effects of the omicron variant. Nerve damage, heart disorders, and any number of other conditions that may not show up for years to come.
The omicron variant is but an upper respiratory infection, for which the symptoms are virtually indistinguishable from the “common cold”, many forms of which are also caused by a coronavirus.
Zicam, Airborne, and Cold-Eeze are all over-the-counter medications that largely shorten the span and severity of this omicron variant, same as they do for other forms of the “common cold”. By purchasing the main ingredients (zinc lozenges, Vitamin D3) in separate form, the cost per dose is MUCH less.
Hard to be surprised by anything she says considering she’s indicated the importance of deciding cases based on her “life experiences”.
Did one of the attorneys present-or another justice-correct this dumbass? She has no business even having a license to practice law, much less sit on the SC-she makes me ashamed to be Hispanic...
Maybe she has the same affliction as Joek Bimentia?
The WIDE LATINO is dumber than I THOUGHT
Latin for imbecile = brutus
brutus adjective. irrational, dull, stupid, heavy, unwieldy ·
