Responding to an expert’s statement that “about 3.2 million” American lives have been saved by vaccines against Covid, with “over 14 million lives” saved globally, the far-right Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene said: “I’m not a doctor, but I have a PhD in recognising bullshit when I hear it.”
On Capitol Hill on Thursday, Greene attended a hearing staged by the House oversight select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic.
The expert Greene responded to, Dr Peter Marks, the director of biologics evaluation and research at the Food and Drug Administration, also described how at the height of the pandemic in the US, “about 3,300 [people], about a World Trade Center disaster a day”, were dying of Covid-19, contributing to a death toll of more than 1.1m.
Marks later apologised to viewers, after Greene claimed children should not be given Covid vaccines.
Greene, from Georgia, is a former CrossFit gym owner, conspiracy theorist and controversialist who entered Congress in 2021 and has assumed an influential position in a House Republican caucus controlled by the far right.
She claims “bullshit” because she doesn’t believe 14 million is a real number. Or any number above 6,000, the age of our Lord’s holy, flat Earth, amen.
(Lmao, /s obvs)
“I’m not a doctor, but I have a PhD in recognising bullshit when I hear it.”
I guarantee you that she thinks this makes her sound tough. And not extremely stupid.
That’s because her Republican base tells her she sounded tough and very smart.
Right?
Like… Marge…please… we’re all just surprised you can spell PhD correctly.
She said it, so there’s no evidence that she can spell it.
We need more people to start yelling at her through the mail slot in her office door
Dunning-kruger effect of bullshit spotting??
She sees bullshit everywhere because she brings it
Who cares?
Stupid fucking hick says stupid hick shit.
Hey now, dont insult hicks by comparing them to this inbred white trash.
Le sigh.
Reliving the hits, now? Gonna go for getting more of your base killed by shilling medical conspiracy theories? Because COVID still kills people, especially the unvaccinated.
Experts: Using rigorous science and data gathering, we’ve come to the conclusion among us that the vaccine was effective in saving lives.
MTG, a genius: Nuh-uh!
Marjorie Taylor Greene is a walking joke. she gives hill billy’s a bad name.
Expert with years of experience and spent decades studying the subject vs second-dumbest woman in Congress
Qanon Jewish space lasers has a great radar for bullshit. Totally.
Noted epidemiologist Marjorie Taylor Green
Somebody should attack her for doubting the vaccine Trump
developedtook credit for.Why do we care about Nazi Barbie’s uneducated opinion on anything? Quit giving the idiot headlines and eventually she’ll go away like the idiot who could see Russia from her snl sketch.
I find her continued existence to be bullshit.
“He’s Dr. Tran, and He’s got a PhD in KICKING-YOUR-ASS”

You know I just realized I’ve never had Georgia BBQ so I figured I’d ask, it’s good, right? Y’all have at least contributed some deliciousness to the world and that make y’all OK.
True. Just be sure to try the Hispanic food here too. Nothing slaps like tostones with mac n cheese, barbeque chicken, and a tall glass of sweet tea. 🤤
Tell me more ‘jewish space lazer’ lady.
