Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green Praises ‘Brave’ NFL Players Refusing to Get Vaccinated

The anti vaccine crowd continues their fight against stopping the pandemic dead in its tracks. Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is the latest to promote not taking the vaccine, and she took a page out of the right-wing playbook this week and praised NFL players who refuse to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.

She took to Twitter to spew her rhetoric.

Greene, a noted conspiracist who’s intent on getting Dr. Anthony Fauci ousted from his Biden administration post, got trashed on Twitter for her praise of NFL players.

You have an odd definition of bravery. Risking one's health and the health of teammates, coaches, and staff is selfish.

Can only imagine what all you said about this behind closed doors pic.twitter.com/2maLDcYrhj

The NFL and NFL Players Association are encouraging, but not mandating players to get vaccinated.
They will have to follow covid protocols should they opt out of vaccination.

Ya so brave risking their lives and their teammates lives to own the libs.

I'm sure their owners are super stoked.

It's not like there's millions of dollars on the line or anything.

Absolutely, as we have seen how well your immune system works against Polio or Small Pox, etc.

I’m concerned this tweet isn’t going to age well

Imagine fighting this hard to avoid doctor’s advice to get vaccinated.

— Dean Auker (@AukerDean) June 24, 2021

Yeah! And don't forget those brave #NFL players standing, err, kneeling, their ground in their workplace to bring attention to other societal issues.

These athletes shouldn't be discriminated against for using their first amendment rights .

Funny how some eat hot dogs and bologna most of their lives but won't get the vaccine because they don't know what's in it

It’s got emergency fda approval and volumes of information showing it’s efficacy, numbnuts

Anti masks, anti vax, these right wingers are Anti anything that Science backs up.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold and Buffalo Bills receiver Cole Beasley are among players who have declared they aren’t vaccinated.

Hopefully they’ll be safe in spite of their unwillingness to do what’s best for the World.
