Sotomayor’s false claim that ‘over 100,000’ children are in 'serious condition’ with covid

[Drumcollie]

Those numbers show that omicron is as deadly and causes as much serious disease in the unvaccinated as delta did. … We have over 100,000 children, which we’ve never had before, in serious condition and many on ventilators.”

— Justice Sonia Sotomayor, during oral argument at the Supreme Court, Jan. 7

The Facts

But then Sotomayor went off the rails: “We have over 100,000 children, which we’ve never had before, in serious condition and many on ventilators.”

That’s wildly incorrect, assuming she is referring to hospitalizations, given the reference to ventilators. According to HHS data, as of Jan. 8 there are about 5,000 children hospitalized in a pediatric bed, either with suspected covid or a confirmed laboratory test. This figure includes patients in observation beds. So Sotomayor’s number is at least 20 times higher than reality, even before you determine how many are in “serious condition.”

Moreover, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there have been less than 100,000 — 82,843 to be exact — hospital admissions of children confirmed with covid since Aug. 1, 2020.

She should be impeached for not doing her job.

Because until she is removed, she holds the title, but it doesn't stop us from having an opinion or asking why. That is the difference between a Republican and a (D) who is afraid I'll add "ics" to their name.
