One of the tweets was a quote-tweet of her colleague, Rep. Thomas Massie that said, “The controversial #COVID19 vaccines should not be force on our military for a virus that is not dangerous for non-obese people and those under 65” and “With 6,000 vax related deaths and many concerning side effects reported, the vax should be a choice not a mandate for everyone”:

Green tweeted, “This is why no entity should force NON-FDA approved vaccines or masks. Instead help people protect their health by defeating obesity, which will protect them from covid complications & death, and many other health problems”:
