Below is a screenshot of a tweet posted by Congressman Green. Posted on August 9, 2021 local time, 'The FDA should not approve the COVID-19 vaccine. There are a series of reports of COVID-19 infection and spread among vaccinated people. The COVID-19 vaccine has failed and the spread of the virus cannot be suppressed. This applies not only to the COVID-19 vaccine, but also to the mask. Mandatory vaccination and vaccine passports violate freedom. The content is 'I am.'

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States, there are a series of research reports that the risk of developing COVID-19 is reduced by 90% or more when vaccination with mRNA vaccines such as Physer and Moderna is completed, and CDC is COVID-19. It is said that the effect of the vaccine is so strong that the title 'COVID-19 Vaccine Works (COVID-19 vaccine works)' is added to the page explaining the effect of the vaccine. Therefore, it is judged that the above tweet by Congressman Green is a spread of false information. It is true that the number of new COVID-19 infections is increasing again in the United States, because the powerful mutant 'Delta strain' is rampant.
