'New York Times' Makes Tiny Error: Says 900,000 U.S. Kids have COVID when It's Only 63,000
The New York Times now admits making a tiny math error after saying that 900,000 U.S. kids were in hospitals with COVID when the real number is a far lower 63,000.
Once again, we see that the fake news media lies to push its left-wing, anti-American agenda.
Naturally, 63,000 kids with the coronavirus is bad enough, but at 900,000 the Times felt the need to explode that number beyond all sense of reality.

‘In addition, the article misstated the timing of an FDA meeting on authorization of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children. It is later this month, not next week,’ the liberal paper added.
Heck, the
This was no simple mistake, granted. This was a straight out lie pushed with the expectations that neither the Times nor anyone else in the leftist media would call Mandavilli on the carpet for her lies.
And the proof of this is the fact that Mandavilli was not immediately fired. In fact, she is still an employee today!
