In a message on Twitter, the Georgia Republican wrote that the U.S. has never 'shut down' due to cancer-related deaths.
"To care about others & save lives, our response toshould be working towards ending obesity, promote covid treatments that are proven to work, & stop the politically driven mass hysteria. Allow people to choose natural immunity or vaccines, w/o discrimination," she wrote.
A number of Twitter users then responded to the Georgia congresswoman's statements, criticizing her for appearing to suggest that cancer is similarly contagious to COVID-19. "Does it occur to you that cancer isn't a highly contagious disease, and therefore can't really be compared in the same context with Covid-19? Please support vaccinations to stop covid," wrote one user.
