Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky disputed Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s claim that 100,000 children are hospitalized or seriously ill with COVID-19 during arguments made before the court on Jan. 7.

During an interview with “Fox News Sunday” on Jan. 9, Walensky confirmed that there are about 3,500 children in the hospital who have tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
