Twitter has suspended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) for a week “due to repeated violations of Twitter Rules,” the social media platform said.
The suspension came after the QAnon congresswoman tweeted that vaccines are “failing.”
Her account will be in read-only mode for one week a Twitter spokesperson said.
Greene said in the tweet that the Food and Drug 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.
One more strike and her account could be permanently suspended.
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.
