Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is expressing her opposition to COVID-19 vaccine mandates while pointing out that humans are not immortal and can be infected with other illnesses.
During an interview on Real America’s Voice, Greene admitted waiting rooms at hospitals are filling up.
However, she said, “Guess what, the waiting rooms are full of all kinds of things, not just Covid, car accidents, trauma, other illnesses, cancer, so forth. But they’re seeing about 30% of those numbers being Covid cases.”
She continued:
“Everyone needs to get back down to common sense and remember that, you know, we’re human, we can’t live forever, we are going to catch all kinds of diseases and illnesses and other viruses, and we get hurt sometimes.”
Finally, she said, “So, I’m all for let’s be rational with this, let’s be careful, let’s be cautious, and let’s not turn into an authoritarian regime that forces shots into arms of people that don’t want it.”

Greene received a one-week suspension from Twitter earlier this week after she claimed the vaccines are “failing,” as she pointed to reports of vaccinated people being infected with the virus.
As CNBC notes, the vaccines are not 100% effective at preventing infection. However, people who are fully vaccinated are “highly protected against severe infection, hospitalization, and death caused by the virus.”
