Yesterday the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to block President Biden’s OSHA vaccine mandate for companies employing 100 or more people.
The Nation’s justice correspondent Elie Mystal turned that ruling into this:
I want everybody to remember that the Supreme Court has said the government doesn't have the authority to make people wear a mask when it later says it *does* have the authority to force women to give birth against their will.

The “justice correspondent” doesn’t seem to have an accurate reading on what happened at the Supreme Court yesterday:
The Supreme Court said absolutely nothing about masks. https://t.co/Nc1MRikLij

No they didn’t, but judging from the replies many lefties don’t realize that or just don’t care for the sake of a fresh narrative.
When did the Supreme Court say this? https://t.co/Lmm9TLOC2a

If they have, why are there loads of government-implemented mask mandates still in effect?

Not that we’re shocked or anything.
You don't have to wear a mask while giving birth. #Bonus

The “correct” kind of misinformation is still allowed on social media, obviously.
