GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert appeared to be trying to mock vaccines with a tweet about allergies and people couldn’t believe it was real.
“As allergy season kicks off, I encourage everyone to take their allergy meds so my allergy meds can work,” the conspiracy theory-endorsing Colorado Republican tweeted on Wednesday.
“You know, it doesn’t work unless everyone takes it,” she added.
Critics, including Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), was quick to point out that allergies are not contagious.
The more people get vaccines, such as those designed to fight COVID, the more protection the community gets, others noted.
Although it is possible that Boebert be able to joking with her tweet, she has taken shape by posting ridiculous claims online.
