Twitter has suspended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) for a week after she wrote that vaccines are “failing.”
A Twitter spokesperson told The Hill in a statement that her tweet on Monday “was labeled in line with our COVID-19 misleading information policy.”
Her account will be in read-only mode for one week “due to repeated violations of Twitter Rules,” the spokesperson added.
Greene said in the tweet that the Food and D*** Administration "should not approve the covid vaccines."
"There are too many reports of infection & spread of #COVID19 among vaccinated people," Greene said.
"These vaccines are failing and do not reduce the spread of the virus & neither do masks," she added. "Vaccine mandates & passports violate individual freedoms."
The tweet was labeled by Twitter as "misleading." Users were not permitted to reply, share or like the post.
Twitter has a five-strike policy on COVID-19 misinformation. The fourth strike is a seven-day account lock.
Green was suspended from Twitter for 12 hours last month after claiming that COVID-19 was “not dangerous” for people who are not obese or are under the age of 65.
She also wrote in a separate tweet that “defeating obesity” would protect people against complications and death from the virus.
