Former President Donald Trump said during a recent interview with Fox News’s Dan Bongino that his administration’s development of the vaccine is credited with saving millions of lives around the world:
“I think if we didn’t come up during the Trump administration with the vaccine, you could have 100 million people dead just like you had in 1917.”

But not according to Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. She thinks the vaccines are a total failure and she called on the FDA to not give full approval to the vaccines.
“These vaccines are failing & do not reduce the spread of the virus & neither do masks,” she tweeted:
The FDA should not approve the covid vaccines.
There are too many reports of infection & spread of #COVID19 among vaccinated people.
These vaccines are failing & do not reduce the spread of the virus & neither do masks.
Vaccine mandates & passports violate individual freedoms.

Twitter has since suspended her for a week over the tweet:

From Twitter:
A Twitter spokesperson said the tweet “was labeled in line with our COVID-19 misleading information policy. The account will be in read-only mode for a week due to repeated violations of the Twitter Rules.”

Twitter will permanently suspend someone after five strikes:
