Far-right Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene hit out at President Biden and his administration over reports of the potential launch of digital “vaccine passports”, saying they should be called "Biden’s Mark of the Beast."
The Biden administration is looking into the possibility of a digital identification process to recognise whether a person has been vaccinated so far or not, in order to let businesses reopen and for people to get back to work, according to the Washington Post.
“They are actually talking about people’s ability to buy and sell linked to the vaccine passport,” the Georgia congresswoman wrote on Twitter, hitting out at the potential new plan. “They might as well call it Biden’s Mark of the Beast.”
The “Mark of the Beast” refers to a persistent conspiracy theory among the religious right in the US that receiving a Covid vaccine is equivalent to pledging allegiance to the devil.
