Marjorie Taylor Greene suspended from Twitter over false vaccine claim

Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has been suspended from Twitter for a week after claiming that the coronavirus vaccines are “failing”.

According to CNN, a spokesperson for the social media platform said the tweet “was labelled in line with our Covid-19 misleading information policy. The account will be in read-only mode for a week due to repeated violations of the Twitter Rules”.

Twitter’s policy on misinformation about Covid-19 states that a “seven-day account lock” will occur after a user’s fourth strike.
