Media Outdo Themselves With Latest Lie About Justice Thomas on Abortion and Vaccines – Opinion

By Pluralist / June 30, 2022

Joe Biden launched a scathing attack on the Supreme Court during an offensive speech he delivered on Thursday in Madrid, Spain at a press conference following the conclusion of NATO Summit.

When he was asked why 85 percent of Americans thought the country was on the wrong track, he blamed the Supreme Court saying, “[T]The one thing that is destabilizing [to the world] was “the outrageous behavior of the Supreme Court of the United States in overruling not only Roe V. Wade but essentially challenging the right to privacy.” He lied about what the decision by the Court said, “I really think that it is a serious, serious problem that the Court has thrust upon the United States, not just in terms of the right to choose, but in terms of right to who you can marry, the right — a whole range of issues relating to privacy.” The Court said its decision only pertained to abortion and specifically said it didn’t apply to any of the issues Biden claimed.

Indeed, it’s the Biden Administration trying to destabilize the Court with its unprecedented attacks.

However, the Democrats as well as the Biden Team have been supported in their attack and falsified portrayal of the Court Court Court Court by liberal media. Some even went back to it today.

Axios got a lot of attention on Twitter with a story claiming that Justice Clarence Thomas suggests COVID vaccines are made with “aborted children.”

NBC and Politico also made variations on the same assertion.

Now, at this point, we could say that some in the media are just very ignorant and don’t know how to read Supreme Court decisions. But given mistakes that seem to always go one way — serving to help Democrats/attack people on the right, I’m not inclined to give them any benefit of the doubt by just calling them ignorant.

Thomas did not make this claim. In his dissent from the Court’s denial of a writ of certiorari in a New York case regarding vaccines, Thomas was simply relating what the petitioners were claiming in the case, not making comments of his own.

“Petitioners are 16 healthcare workers who served New York communities throughout the COVID–19 pandemic,” it reads. “They object on religious grounds to all available COVID–19 vaccines because they were developed using cell lines derived from aborted children.”

But on top of that, the petitioners weren’t saying the vaccines were made with “aborted children” but that the vaccines were “developed using cell lines derived from” abortions. Politico also admitted in another tweet that the petitioners’ claim is true.

No one claimed or even suggested the vaccines were made with “aborted children.”

What was the point of making such a false accusation against Thomas? Even now, after it is inundated with a ratio, the Axios false tweet is still up and it’s still causing people on the left to freak out. It’s the same thing they did with President Donald Trump — every lie builds on the lie before until you whip people into a frenzy and they think Trump is Hitler. They’re doing it now to Thomas.

You will find multiple examples of this freakout.

Alert for graphic language

It is not true. They will just say whatever they want to fit the story.
