Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) went on the warpath on Thursday against a medical professional who said COVID-19 vaccines saved millions of lives.
During a hearing on vaccine safety in the House of Representatives, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) asked Food and Drug Administration official Dr. Peter Marks to comment on the impact that the vaccines had on Americans' health after they began to be administered on a widespread basis in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"It's estimated in the United States about 3.2 million lives [were saved] and it's estimated, globally, that COVID-19 vaccines saved over 14 million lives, conservatively," Marks testified.
Marks also noted the horrific toll that COVID-19 took on America, as the virus killed around 1.1 million Americans and, at its peak, was killing over 3,000 per day.

Shortly after this, however, Greene jumped in to accuse Marks of peddling false information.
"I'm not a doctor but I have a PhD in recognizing bulls--t when I hear it," the Georgia congresswoman declared.
"I'd like to point out to everyone that we knew early on ... that the people that were at risk of hospitalization and dying of COVID were those that were obese, had diabetes, were over the age of 65. We also knew the children were at no risk, practically zero risk, of being hospitalized or of death from COVID-19. We knew the young people, healthy young people, were not at risk. However, Dr. Marks, you rushed through this process of authorizing these vaccines even though you knew the side effects."
