New York Times Posts Lengthy Correction After Badly Botching Story on Vaccine Strategies for Children
Legal Insurrection ^ | 10/09/2021 | Stacey Matthews

Not only was this week a terrible one for so-called “fact-checkers” like the ones at the Associated Press and Politifact, but the New York Times found itself in a rather embarrassing situation after they had to issue a massive correction to a Wednesday report their health and science reporter Apoorva Mandavilli wrote on Wuhan coronavirus vaccine strategies for children.

In the original story, archived here, Mandavilli claimed that officials in Sweden and Denmark were “joining the ranks” of other countries by “announcing that adolescents should get only one jab of the Moderna vaccine.”

Sorry NYT. When you absolutely refused to report or investigate the Hunter Biden laptop, you openly colluded with the demented, corrupt Biden and forever losing your journalistic integrity. You are nothing more than a propaganda site wearing the robes of a once great newspaper. You can correct your stories and do nothing else for the next five years, and still never return to what you once were. You have destroyed the legacy that was entrusted to you.

This'll be a good time for all those quislings that did not vote for President Trump because he;

Was ineffective in dealing with COVID,
Didn't get the "vaccine" into America in time,
Only spread conspiracy theories,
Was mean,

and any other lie THEY fed you ... to repent and support nothing but Republicans.

They didn’t “botch” the story. Their lies were exposed, and they had to backtrack.

While the New York Times lies for Democrat, Failure, Fake, POTUS, Joe Biden, the man that gets more Secret Service Agents attending at his political speeches and rallies that public attendees...last week he had 35 people at one rally and the other rally had a booming 45 people.

Meanwhile POTUS, Donald J Trump already has thousands of people lining up early for his gigantic Iowa rally this evening...30,000-50,000 attendees expected!!! Go on the Trump Web site for further details and more information.

The Trump Rally will be broadcast in full on: RSBN, OAN, Newsmax, Fox Stream, C-Span 7 dozens of various live feeds across the nation!!! I believe Trump Speaks at around 7:00 PM local time!!!

Trumpy has continually had huge crowds at his rallies. Often these people stand in line for not just hours, but entire days, in the heat and cold, waiting to see him. There’s no way to fake that! Everyone can see it whether the news reports it or not. B1den couldn’t get over 1000 people even when he had Bottom Barry at his rally.

And we’re supposed to think that these devoted fans DIDN’T VOTE. 😑

The second time for Apoorva?

The New York Times made a massive correction to an article by Apoorva Mandavilli that initially claimed that nearly 900,000 children had been hospitalized with COVID-19 since the pandemic began in the spring of 2020, a far cry from the true number of about 63,000 children hospitalized since August 2020, as The Times stated in their correction.

The Times’ original article exaggerated the number of children hospitalized with the coronavirus by 837,000 cases.

Even 63K is a wild exaggeration and they got that number by counting the positives, the actual number of children who got hospitalised would be in the hundreds.

Purposeful lies from the democrat party because no one will read the corrections because they control how and how often they are delivered.

Sometimes I wonder if the constant shocks are all that’s keeping me alive!
