The United State Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene says “I haven’t been making it public, but I started making it public because it’s such an issue. I’m not vaccinated” .
She continued: “I believe it’s up to every single American to make that choice on their own, and the government has no business to tell Americans that they should take the Covid vaccine or not.”
The falsehoods prompted Twitter to suspend Greene’s account for a week, the latest such action the social media company had taken against her for sharing misinformation. In July, Twitter suspended Greene for 12 hours for sharing misinformation about Covid-19 and vaccines.
Greene has appealed at least one of her fines, which come from her salary, but it was upheld.
Democrats implemented the rule last year amid the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. Like Greene, many Republicans have evaded the rules and been fined as a result, and a number of GOP lawmakers have continued to protest the mask rules.
