In reality, the flu kills, at most, tens of thousands each year—not hundreds of thousands. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the flu kills between 12,000 and 52,000 Americans annually.
Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic killed nearly 800,000 Americans from 2020 through 2021. In September 2018, then CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield said that the previous winter's flu season had been the worst in some four decades, resulting in an estimated 80,000 deaths.

And you don't "politicize" issues? The reason your head is shaking is because your brain can't believe what you just said.

Nothing new that the flu kills which is why reasonable people get an annual shot. Now with Covid, politics has replaced reason, so.......

So he either misspoke or subbed World Stats for US stats, correct the info and move on. I think it was in the questioning portion of the discussion, so there is banter back and forth, it could be an easy mistake to make. IMHO I think Gorsuch is big enough to admit he misspoke.
Let the first person that has never made a mistake in speech step up and let me know...
I'm waiting...

Yes the wise Latina said twice the American population got covid and 10,000 kids are on ventilators, another justice didn’t think you could get infected if you were vaccinated.
