Marjorie Taylor Greene slams FDA green lighting of mNEXSPIKE COVID-19 vaccine: 'Not MAHA at all!!!'
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., slammed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's move to give the green light to Moderna's mNEXSPIKE COVID-19 vaccine.
"Not MAHA at all!!!," the congresswoman wrote in a post on X, using the acronym for the phrase "Make America Healthy Again," calling the move "Unreal."
"MNEXSPIKE is approved for use in individuals who have been previously vaccinated with any COVID-19 vaccine and are 65 years of age and older, or 12 years through 64 years of age with at least one underlying condition that puts them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19," an FDA letter to Moderna notes.
According to a Moderna press release, CEO Stéphane Bancel said that "COVID-19 remains a serious public health threat, with more than 47,000 Americans dying from the virus last year alone."
The company describes itself as "a leader in the creation of the field of mRNA medicine."
Greene has previously spoken out against COVID-19 vaccines, saying their FDA approval should be nixed.
"COVID-19 vaccines should have never received approval and they've known the entire time how bad the side effects are and deaths caused by them. It's time to do the right thing. Stop the COVID-19 vaccines," she declared in part of a tweet in March.
The congresswoman is currently serving her third term in the House of Representatives.

The Justice Department's emergency appeal to the high court said U.S. District Judge Myong Joun in Boston exceeded his authority last month when he issued a preliminary injunction reversing the layoffs of nearly 1,400 people and putting the broader plan on hold.

Readers critique The Post: Spelling bees are pointless. So is correct spelling.
Every week, The Post runs a collection of letters of readers' grievances — pointing out grammatical mistakes, missing coverage and inconsistencies. These letters tell us what we did wrong and, occasionally, offer praise. Here, we present this week's Free for All letters. As a proud English teacher for 60 years, I read Nicole Krauss's May 25 Opinion essay, 'The end of writing and reading will be the end of freedom,' with enthusiasm — and with horror at the knowledge that so many young people have no concept of the joy of reading. It put into words all the fears I have had over the years about the written word becoming obsolete. It also brought me back to a sense of optimism that some of our youths still cherish reading. I hope I have nurtured all my students to read and appreciate the written word.
