U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is among the MAGA faithful who are expressing outrage over a recent move made by President Donald Trump's administration.
The GOP lawmaker and ally to Trump rebelled on Sunday, pointing to a recent announcement made by pharmaceutical giant Moderna.
"We announced today that the U.S. FDA has approved mNEXSPIKE®, a new vaccine against COVID-19, for use in all adults 65 and older, as well as individuals aged 12 years through 64 years of age with at least one underlying condition that puts them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19," the company wrote.

Greene shared that statement on social media, declaring that the FDA's action is "Not MAHA at all!!!" in reference to Trump nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s slogan of "Make America Healthy Again."
"Unreal," the lawmaker added on X.
A popular account called Trump Tracker asked Elon Musk's AI chatbot to "explain to MTG that the covid vaccine symptoms are safer than contracting covid 19," to which GROK replied, "The COVID-19 vaccine, including mNEXSPIKE, has side effects like soreness or fatigue, which are usually mild and short-lived, per CDC and WHO data. Contracting COVID-19 poses higher risks, especially for those 65+ or with health conditions, including hospitalization, long COVID, or death. mNEXSPIKE trials showed no vaccine-linked serious events in 11,400 participants, though rare myocarditis cases exist, less frequent than from the virus itself."
The AI continued:
"Some question efficacy reporting, but evidence suggests vaccines are safer for most, especially high-risk groups. Always weigh personal health factors."
A slew of MAGA users also weighed in.
A right-wing user declaring himself a "liberty zealot," Dave Benner, said, "The FDA must be abolished. It cannot be reformed."
Another user, a "Proud American" identified as @SeanALarabee, said, "They expect us to believe that they have had sufficient clinical trials to approve it a safe and effective? Not a friggin chance. The only way they have been able to approve this is under the emergency protocols established during the early discovery of COVID-19 which no longer can legally be applied, can they?"
