On Friday, Sen. Rand Paul asked if top White House doctor Anthony Fauci was “advising” Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor after she she made some untrue statements during Supreme Court arguments as the high court weighed the legality of President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates.

Sotomayor said on Friday, “We have over 100,000 children, which we’ve never had before, in serious condition, many on ventilators.”

Sotomayor: “over 100,000 children…in serious condition, many on ventilators” Is Fauci advising Justice Sotomayor? Will YouTube censor her?https://t.co/TQM49LQRbw https://t.co/TQM49LQRbw

According to the Washington Post, Sotomayor’s “100,000” number is demonstrably false.

‘More than 4,000 children were hospitalized with covid-19 across the nation Wednesday, Washington Post figures show, marking a new high that towers above previous peaks set during the summer when the delta variant was driving up infections,’ the Post reported.”

Should you vaccinate your 5-11 year old?

This study shows 24 hospitalizations/100,000 for kids in this age group from Covid compared to 14 cases per 100,000 of myocarditis with vaccine.

Never should this vaccine be mandated for children, nor should they or their parents be coerced or pressured into having them take it.https://t.co/YAhiBF8Q1Y

FEE’s Jon Miltimore writes, “On Monday, US Education Secretary Miguel Cardona touted new academic research to show that masks have been effective at reducing the spread of COVID-19 in schools…

Cardona’s tweet caught the attention of Tracy Beth Høeg, an epidemiologist and physician resident at the University of California-Davis, who worked on the study cited by Cardona.

⁦@SecCardona⁩ claims WI study proves masks in schools work. Physician author of study says study proves no such thing.

‘Secretary Cardona, I was the senior author of this study,’ Høeg replied. ‘Our study is not able to give any information about the role masks played in the observed low in-school transmission rates. We had no control group so [we] don’t know if the rate would have been different without masks.’

Cardona had not responded to Høeg’s reply as of Thursday afternoon.”

Biden says he plans to take ‘legal action’ against states that resist school mask mandates

The New York Times reported late Wednesday that President Joe Biden is planning on “taking possible legal action” against states where governors are resisting mask mandates in schools.

NYT reported, “President Biden, escalating his fight with Republican governors who are blocking local school districts from requiring masks to protect against the coronavirus, said Wednesday that his Education Department to would use its broad powers — including taking possible legal action — to deter states from barring universal masking in classrooms.”

“Mr. Biden said he directed Miguel Cardona, his education secretary, ‘to take additional steps to protect our children,’ including against governors who he said are ‘setting a dangerous tone’ in issuing executive orders banning masks mandates and have threatened to penalize school officials who defy them…”

NYT added, “Dr. Cardona said he would deploy the Education Department’s civil rights enforcement arm to investigate states that block universal masking.”

We have a Constitution. We have a Tenth Amendment that states clearly that powers not outlined in the Constitution as belonging to the federal government remain with the states.

Get ready for a fight, Joe.

We are at a moment of truth and a crossroads. Will we allow these people to use fear and propaganda to do further harm to our society, economy, and children?

Or will we stand together and say, absolutely not. Not this time. I choose freedom. pic.twitter.com/XrI2tjdAHW
