The House Oversight Committee met on Thursday to discuss "Preparing for the Next Pandemic: Lessons Learned and The Path Forward.” The hearing deteriorated into another round of GOP conspiracy theorists like Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene spewing public health misinformation and demanding vengeance against officials like Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Greene launched into her old COVID-19 conspiracy rant against Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, saying that the proof that vaccines “did not work” was the fact that people still catch COVID. She spewed a series of robustly debunked claims, including the lie that vaccines cause autism. It’s hard to fix stupid like this.
