'3,500 kids are in hospital, not 100,000': CDC Director Wallensky corrects liberal Justice Sotomayor's wildly false claim that 'over 100,000 children are seriously ill with COVID, many on ventilators'
'We have over 100,000 children, which we've never had before, in serious condition, and many on ventilators,' Sotomayor said on Friday
Walensky contradicted Sotomayor's claims during a Fox News Sunday segment
'The number is not 100,000 It's roughly 3500 in hospitals now?' asked Bret Baier
'Yes. In fact...they're still about 15 fold less than hospitalizations of our older age or age demographic,' Walinsky answered, adding they were vastly unvaccinated
As of January 8, the number of hospitalization in children in the US is roughly 5,000, while the CDC has reported 84,000 cumulative since August, 2020

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky contradicted Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor's incorrect claim that there are 100,000 pediatric COVID hospitalizations on Sunday.
Justice Sotomayor, a liberal Associate Justice appointed by former president Obama, exaggerated the number of severe COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations among children as she attempted to convince conservative Supreme Court justices that President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate for businesses should be enforced.
'We have over 100,000 children, which we've never had before, in serious condition, and many on ventilators,' Sotomayor said on Friday.
