Justice Sotomayor Spreads Delusional Misinformation During SCOTUS Hearing On Covid Vax Mandate

This is just absolutely astonishing. "100,000 children in serious condition," per Sotomayor. Where do these people obtain their misinformation? The current national pediatric COVID census per HHS is 3,342. Many/most incidental.

Justice Sotomayor during this oral arguments:

- Claimed covid deaths are at an all time high
- Claimed that Omicron has been deadlier than Delta
- Claimed 100K children are hospitalized with covid
- Said OSHA's regulatory authority is a federal "police power."

Justice Sotomayor also claimed that hospitals are nearing capacity.

She also asked "Why is a human spewing a virus not like a machine spewing sparks?"

Incredible performance all around.

Here is Justice Sotomayor saying that "hospitals are almost all full capacity" and there are "over 100,000 children" hospitalized with covid "many on ventilators.

Counsel for the independent businesses spoke about the vaccine mandate coming while the Delta variant of COVID was most prevalent in the US, saying that the current variant, Omicron, is of far less worry in terms of serious illness or death.

But Justice Sotomayor interrupted, saying "Counsel, those numbers show that Omicron is as deadly and causes as much serious disease in the unvaccinated as Delta did," despite this being entirely false.

"The numbers," she said, "look at the hospitalization rates that are going on. We have more affected people in the country today than we had a year ago in January. We have hospitals that are almost at full capacity with people severely ill on ventilators."

"We have over 100,000 children," she said, "which we've never had before, in serious condition and many on ventilators. So saying it's a workplace variant just underscores the fact that without some workplace rules with respect to vaccines or encouraging vaccines, because this is not a vaccine mandate."

Justice Breyer says that there were "750 million new covid cases yesterday"

There are 330 million people who live in America which means everyone apparently got covid twice in the last 24 hours. pic.twitter.com/rzMf8OzAlj

Kagan, in questioning attorney arguing against CMS mandate, again insists that vaccines stop transmission. This lack of knowledge as to basic facts about the vaccines- and covid- is concerning.

It's worth noting a spokeswoman for the Supreme Court recently said all nine justices are fully boosted. https://t.co/fvRHhUUvDc
