Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was banned on Twitter in January 2022 for, as she quoted, "COVID misinformation." However, she's back and is still making posts about — you guessed it — coronavirus.
According to Twitter, their COVID-19 policy is no longer enforced, which opened the floodgates for many people to recover their accounts.
The policy page now has this disclaimer at the top: "Effective November 23, 2022, Twitter is no longer enforcing the COVID-19 misleading information policy."
Greene published a message comparing masks to protect from COVID-19 and underwear to protect from farts.
Her tweet reads: "So many people still wearing masks. I just want to ask you. If a pair of underwear, really thick ones, high-quality cotton, can’t protect you from a fart, then how will a mask protect you from COVID?"
While Twitter does not monitor what people can and can't say about the pandemic any longer, there is now a "Birdwatch" community where highly rated articles and those deemed "helpful" to spread information are attached to her tweet.
Readers added this context to her publication: "The farts & COVID question has been asked and answered multiple times and ways since March 2020. The long and the short of it is COVID droplets are significantly larger than gaseous emissions so more likely to be stopped by a mask."

Former Florida Congressional Candidate, Christopher Eagle, responded the tweet in disbelief that she used flatulence to further position.
"I think this is the first time in history anyone in Congress has used the word 'FART' to argue a position," he wrote.
Others are describing the difference in molecules between a fart and COVID-19 and stating that "your underwear isn't designed to filter the air."
Greene has been very active on Twitter since she has rejoined the social media platform and continues to tweet about COVID-19.
