Paper added over 800,000 to total of kids hospitalized with coronavirus..
The New York Times issued a massive correction Thursday after the liberal newspaper severely misreported the number of COVID hospitalities among children in the United States by more than 800,000.
A report headlined "A New Vaccine Strategy for Children: Just One Dose, for Now," by science and health reporter Apoorva Mandavilli, was peppered with errors before major changes were made to the story. The Times initially reported "nearly 900,000 children have been hospitalized" with COVID since the pandemic began, when the factual data in the now-corrected version is that "more than 63,000 children were hospitalized with Covid-19 from August 2020 to October 2021."
The paper also botched actions taken by regulators in Sweden and Denmark and even bungled the timing of a critical FDA meeting.
"An earlier version of this article incorrectly described actions taken by regulators in Sweden and Denmark. They have halted use of the Moderna vaccine in children; they have not begun offering single doses. The article also misstated the number of Covid hospitalizations in U.S. children. It is more than 63,000 from August 2020 to October 2021, not 900,000 since the beginning of the pandemic. In addition, the article misstated the timing of an F.D.A. meeting on authorization of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children

Columnist Phil Kerpen sarcastically said the Times reporter was "meeting her usual standards" with the inaccurate report.

Journalist Glenn Greenwald mocked the paper, too.

rounding error...
Lying, and they got caught.

Your correct. And in this case I’m in favor of assisted suicide.
so much for the correction. the NYT fake story would have reached far and wide, e.g.
7 Oct: Indian Express: A new Covid-19 vaccine strategy for children: Just one dose, for now
Officials in Britain, Hong Kong, Norway and other countries have recommended a single dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children ages 12 and older — providing partial protection from the virus, but without the potential harms occasionally observed after two doses.

can’t be bothered to search out other examples, but there would also have been radio/tv commentary on the article, etc.
doubt if anyone who carried the lies would even note the correction.
