Peach State Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene unloaded on an FDA doctor after Rep. Jamie Raskin asked him to estimate how many lives were saved by the COVID-19 vaccine.
“It’s estimated in the United States about 3.2 million lives [were saved] and it’s estimated, globally, that COVID-19 vaccines saved over 14 million lives, conservatively,” Food and Drug Administration official Dr. Peter Marks testified.
Marks also noted that the virus killed around 1.1 million Americans and, at its peak, was killing over 3,000 per day.
When it was Greene’s turn, she spoke for those harmed by the vaccine and then ignored by doctors.
“I’m not a doctor but I have a PhD in recognizing bulls–t when I hear it,” MTG said, kicking off her time.
“I’d like to point out to everyone that we knew early on that the people that were at risk of hospitalization and dying of COVID were those that were obese, had diabetes, were over the age of 65 — we also knew that children were at practically zero risk,” Greene said.
“However, Dr. Marks, you rushed through this process of authorizing these vaccines even though you knew about these side effects — you knew about myocarditis.”
