It's not just Roberts (deliberately not using the term "Justice" Roberts). Have you heard that Gorsuch incorrectly said that the flu kills hundreds of thousands of people every year? He is rightly being excoriated. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/justice-neil-gorsuch-slammed-after-he-suggests-flu-kills-hundreds-of-thousands-each-year/ar-AASxZDn?ocid=msedgntp
So out of touch. Gorsuch, Roberts, Thomas, Barrett, Kavanaugh, Alito - the lot of them. Living in their confined, privileged little worlds, cnvinced that their twisted, right-wing Catholic value system is both proper and superior. Their ignorance is appalling, but they are so insulated they’ll never know.
Which is amazing considering the issue with Kennedy was they thought the Pope would rule our country. Seems like the religious right is doing a good job destroying it with their narrow views.
Annette Has anyone reported on whether the Stench Court has required that all employees have been vaccinated? If so, are there any penalties for those employees (including justices) who refuse to be vaccinated? Wouldn’t this be considered a SC precedent?
I don't want to defend Gorsuch but Sotomayor incorrectly claimed that 100,000 children in the U.S. with Covid-19 are in 'serious condition.' The question is: Where did they get their information? Both are wrong.
We read about this somewhere this morning. Her numbers are correct. She’s talking about the number of children that have gotten Covid and now have long Covid or other debilitating affects that will last through their lifetime. Even shortening them in my personal opinion.
Kids. That can mean 1 to 1 day short of 18 years old. The first danger is viral bronchitis, which can lead to viral pneumonia, and what follows that? Usually bacteria pneumonia. Then MSIS, and a host of other long term syndromes.
Is it moral to risk your kids health or ask others to risk their kids health?

I trust Justice Sotomayor’s ability to read as many studies as needed to make informed comments. Even if she made a quantitative or other error, the public should cut her some slack, she’s arguing to protect children from a real disease that a lot of people says does not exist.

Exactly.

I did read that. Appalling that they so willing lie.
Approximately 30k Americans die of the flu every year. More when the flu has a nasty mutation then it’s 40 to 50,000 desths. CDC, AMA

No, she is not wrong. American Academy of Pediatrians. AMA. JAMA. And New England Journal of Medicine.

This article says she was incorrect!
Sotomayor’s false claim that ‘over 100,000’ children are in 'serious condition’ with covid

How many kid Covid research studies do we need to post that it is a fact, kids are at risk as well as adults?

I didn’t see her exact statement but this NYT article talks about 4 in 100,000 under 4. Are we missing part of what she said or did she misspeak? She’s known for her accuracy. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/01/07/world/omicron-covid-vaccine-tests

I see someone quoted her on that. But still not the entire context of what she said. I hate to rely on just parts of statement for anything.
Presently? Or cumulatively since the beginning of the Pandemic? Hmmmm
