Supreme Court issues revised transcript of Gorsuch remark about flu deaths
The Hill via Yahoo News ^ | January 10, 2022 | Unattributed

Posted on 01/10/2022 1:32:05 PM PST by truthkeeper

The Supreme Court on Monday issued a revised transcript of oral arguments over a Biden administration vaccine rule that clarified a statement Justice Neil Gorsuch made about the number of annual flu deaths.

The original, uncorrected transcript quotes Gorsuch as saying he believes the flu kills "hundreds of thousands of people every year."

This erroneous transcription prompted legions of tweets and at least one media report that tut-tutted Gorsuch and pointed out the actual number of annual flu deaths, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate, is between 12,000 and 52,000 - well below the hundreds of thousands the conservative justice purportedly cited.

Good, thats what SCOTUS should do. Issue a correction when you’ve said something eroneous.

Still waiting on the corrections for the other mistaken covid claims.

Issuing a correction, instills confidence that SCOTUS has heard the outcry and reviewed their comments and now has correct information.

But not a word to correct the idiotic things said by the wise latina.

And why correct anything? I thought the Supremes didn’t care about public opinion? They are such a farce. Just another political court.

Correcting the transcript, or DESTROYING EVIDENCE?

“Good, thats what SCOTUS should do. Issue a correction when you’ve said something erroneous.”

Who actually knows how many flue deaths there would be if it was counted the same way as COVID? We really don’t know how many died of COVID and how many died with COVID.

I bet you can increase the death rate of the flu if it was counted as died with the Flu, not died of...

Except the details of the “pandemic”, the efficacy of the virus all mean nothing to that case. It was a simple question as to whether or not OSHA and Feds can require experimental vaccines as a condition of employment, r if that power is reserved to the states.

The minutiae of the sickness has no part of that argument.

The Supreme court is a joke.

I did not see any correction on Sotomayor comments about hospitalized children.

Court transcripts are meaningless, they write what they want and I experienced this firsthand. All court cases should be open to video and audio recordings. What do you think princes, could you survive an honest court proceeding or would you be exposed for the fool you are immediately?

He's probably thinking worldwide.

World Health Organization (WHO) estimated the annual mortality burden of influenza to be 250 000 to 500 000 all-cause deaths globally;

My bad, of all the people to pick, they picked Gorsuch.

I had thought Sotomayor would have been the top lead in this
cattle call.

The numbers etc. are not germane to the constitutionality of the issue at hand. Simply put, there is, as far as I know, no authority for them to “force” anything on citizens. This isn’t one of those “Stroke of a pen, rule of law.” things.

Gorsuch was correct if he was talking about flu deaths worldwide.

What about the β€œwise Latina’s” dumb ass remarks? 100,000 kids hospitalized in serious condition with Covid BS? I think even the liars at cdc put it at 3000.
