Using her recently restored personal Twitter account, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) decided she would prove her massive ignorance of public health, disease, and coronavirus with a posting in which she compared wearing a mask to prevent COVID to donning a pair of underwear in an effort to stop a fart.
Yes, really. She actually tried to equate the two. See for yourself.
“So many people still wearing masks. I just want to ask you. If a pair of underwear, really thick ones, high quality cotton, can’t protect you from a fart, then how will a mask protect you from covid??”
Greene claims to be unvaccinated and has repeatedly railed against the COVID vaccine and mask mandates, even though both have been shown to greatly reduce the risk of contracting the virus and minimizing the symptoms if one does contract COVID.
That was all it took for others on Twitter to mock the Georgia Republican, with many reminding her that she knows as much about medicine, disease, and prevention as a slab of concrete.
