Original Note:
Justice Thomas was only citing the petitioners' claim in the case, he was not making the claim himself. The news outlet Politico made the same mistake and issued a correction in their article detailing the situation (see bottom): https://www.politico.com/news/2022/06/30/clarence-thomas-covid-vaccines-dissent-00043483 The opinion given by Thomas (claim on pg 1-2): https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/21-1143_3f14.pdf
