Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has been an outspoken critic of vaccines and masks to stop the spread of COVID-19. After she tweeted that the disease was a threat only to people who are obese or over 65 — very inaccurate medical guidance — Twitter banned her for 12 hours.

Greene held a news conference and was promptly asked if she herself was vaccinated.

"Your first question is a violation of my HIPAA rights," Greene said July 20. "You see, with HIPAA rights, we don’t have to reveal our medical records, and that also involves our vaccine records."
