Marjorie Taylor Greene Vows To Expose 'Truth' About COVID Vaccines

Marjorie Taylor Greene has said that she will be "exposing the TRUTH" about COVID jabs at a hearing she is holding on the "injuries" allegedly caused by coronavirus vaccines.

The Georgia Republican representative, who was previously suspended from X, called Twitter at the time, over claims about the vaccines, will be joined by a panel of "expert witnesses" during the event on Monday afternoon. She claimed: "They lied to us for years."

Newsweek approached Greene's office via email for comment on Monday.

Claims that COVID-19 vaccines cause health problems or increase the chance of death are often made by groups opposed to vaccination and used in conspiracy theories concerning supposed population control.

Many anti-vaccination activists have attempted to link deaths among athletes and other notable figures to being vaccinated—especially those who otherwise appeared healthy before having a cardiac arrest. The phrase "died suddenly" has become a dogwhistle for such assertions.

Some claimed that the heart attack suffered by LeBron James' son was the result of being vaccinated, while others speculated that the death of one half of a pair of Trump-supporting sisters who had often used their platform to question COVID vaccine policy was caused by being vaccinated, including Greene.

In March, an anti-vax group erected what they called a "COVID vaccine death memorial" in Canberra, Australia. Authorities told Newsweek at the time that "the link between the vaccine and death is usually coincidental."

Medical events such as heart attacks have occurred among a very small number of people who have been vaccinated against coronavirus, but research by health agencies around the world has found that these incidents are far less common than those among patients infected with coronavirus itself.

Studies have found that myocarditis—an inflammatory heart condition—occurs in an estimated 0.00002 percent of those who receive the vaccine, while it can occur in as many as five percent of those infected with the virus itself. Immunologists believe many COVID deaths were due to the virus exacerbating underlying conditions among the worst-affected patients.

Greene will be joined at the hearing by Dr. Robert Malone, who in his early career researched mRNA vaccines, such as those produced by Pfizer and Moderna, and who since 2021 has received criticism for propagating misinformation about the pandemic and COVID vaccines. In 2022, he claimed that the vaccines were "causing a form of AIDS," for which there is no evidence. Other medical practitioners have refuted the claim.

She will also be joined by Dr. Kimberly Biss, a gynaecologist who regularly shares vaccine misinformation on social media, and Thomas Renz, an Ohio-based attorney who, as of 2021, was litigating federal lawsuits in six states over the vaccine, according to the Washington Post.

On October 9, Renz claimed mRNA vaccines are "soon to be put into your food, all vaccines, and even the air."

mRNA is a molecule that naturally occurs in living cells during the process of gene transcription.
