Backlash mounts as 'paranoid' Marjorie Taylor Greene reveals rejecting 'multiple vaccines' for children
ROME, GEORGIA: Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has shared a message for all the “moms and dads” on social media regarding Covid-19 and vaccines, using her own experiences as an example.
She shared insights into interactions with pediatricians, emphasizing that parents should not be "offended" if their decision to refuse a vaccine for their children is met with discussions by healthcare professionals, stating that this is not a new practice.
In addition to this, the congresswoman also talked about how she refused “multiple vaccines” for her children during their upbringing, before she briefly talked about Covid-19 and the vaccine.
Following this, Greene faced severe backlash on X, formerly known as Twitter.

I refused multiple vaccines for my kids when they were growing up and told the Ped every time “no.”
And when it comes to…
“I refused multiple vaccines for my kids when they were growing up and told the Ped every time ‘no,’” added Greene
Greene then specifically shared her take on Covid-19 vaccines for children, and wrote, “And when it comes to the COVID vaccine for kids, I would be a “HELL NO!” every single time they recommend it. Kids aren’t at risk from COVID but they face risks from COVID vaccines.”
In 2021, Greene was suspended from X, after she shared two tweets about Covid-19 which were reported as blatantly false, and several people celebrated the suspension too.

“You're lying. They didn't attend school without being vaccinated. Your lies are so ridiculous,” wrote one user, and another questioned the congresswoman, “Might I see your medical degrees?”

Greene continued to face backlash on the social media platform as one user wrote, “Bless your heart. Just because you did it doesn’t make it a good idea. I could give you a bunch of examples from your life where what you did wasn’t a good thing but we’ll just leave it at that,” and another wrote, “You are such a liar.”
