Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor inaccurately claimed that “over 100,000 children” are “in serious condition” because of COVID-19, sparking a rare fact-check of the Obama-appointed judge as some have accused her of spreading misinformation.
Sotomayor made the remarks on Jan. 7 while hearing lawsuits that were filed against the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine-or-test mandate that would force private businesses with 100 or more workers to require them to be tested weekly or get the vaccine.
