Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Makes Her Most Ignorant Vaccine Claim Yet

The thing she has "never seen" is right out where everyone can see it.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) again tried to attack vaccines, but the detail at the center of her argument was completely wrong.

The conspiracy theorist and right-wing lawmaker, who last month was a key speaker at a white nationalist event, tried to blast coronavirus booster shots by comparing COVID-19 vaccines to other inoculations.

“I have never seen the CDC coming out, saying, ’Oh you’ve got to get your second polio shot, you gotta get your third, you gotta get your fourth,” she said.

The CDC has, in fact, said exactly that. The agency’s website explains that polio vaccination is a four-dose regimen and details when each shot should be given.

6. same reason the media can't quit the orange cretin..

in this Age of Trump the definition of breaking news..news in general, became the bizarre and the outrageous...Trump's insults, threats, racial and ethnic epithets (verbal vomit) were the lede in every paper (online and hard copy)...cable talk shows opened with Trump's "get-this" bilge..separating families, babies in cage?..one or two news cycles and then on to the never-ending Trump burp and fart show... the pandemic death count took a back seat to Trump's bleach ingested press briefings...our world as we knew it came to an end but Trump's venom spewing Nazi rally was "top of the fold", and why not...Trump was a moneymaker (still is)...the so-called reporters he insulted became media stars and their network's bottomline increased ten-fold...and that is why the media gives Greene bandwidth, airtime, print...she's ridiculous, entertaining in a train-wreck sort of way…she’s a network’s cash cow…

8. Two shots for shingles

She is to stupid to get someone with half a brain to read her material before she pukes it out.
Now that is stupid. Or she does not have one single person on her team with half a brain.

9. Tetanus...

Can't even go on a boy scout trip unless you have had a tetanus booster. 4 as a kid. Every five years until age 18, and one every ten years after that or if you have a bad injury in the back half.

Oh yeah, the flu shot every year. Etcetera etcetera etcetera...

And she gets to vote on funding for science education, the NIH, and the NSF.

I weep for our country if people this stupid can get elected.
