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. It is later this month, not next week,” the lengthy correction stated in full.

Every person is going to die one day regardless of whether one takes a vaccine or not. So what’s the point of our corrupt government making mandates and firing those that don’t walk in lockstep?
At least this time they are making a correction. Usually they just write lies and don’t bother doing so
Actually, this is why the NYT is reliable and NOT Fake News — because when they make a mistake of FACT, they correct it.
The reason they are #fakenews is because they deliberately issue “misstatements” & then backtrack them on page 135 in tiny words where no one will notice. This is their convenient way of distorting truth & forcing their political opinions by presenting them as facts
When you can point out the factual error, even a moron would correct himself. Its those “facts” that can have dual interpretations however, that define ones objectivity.
This is similar to the Mesilas Yesharims point that there are 2 types of Hester. Sometimes we cannot see what is before us, but worse, sometimes we mistake what is before us for something it isnt. Guess which is worse…
Take your booster.
I believe you meant “hospitalizations” and not “hospitalities”.
