  • On March 30, 2021, a video that featured a freshman member of Congress was republished by the Right Wing Watch Twitter account. In the video, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgian who had been no stranger to controversy, purportedly referred to the idea of a vaccine passport as Biden's mark of the beast. It's true that Greene said that a vaccine passport was Biden's mark of the beast. She tweeted the same phrase the day before: The phrase Mark of the Beast was also trending on Twitter: According to Dictionary.com, the Biblical phrase has two meanings. The first is: the mark put on the forehead of those who worship the beast, the Antichrist, and symbol of opposition to God. It can also be defined as the stain of apostasy, regarded as both indelible and inescapable, from Revelation 13:16-17. In the republished video, Greene also purportedly referred to the idea of a vaccine passport as corporate communism. Read her relevant remarks in the following transcript: The idea of a so-called vaccine passport involves a way for private companies to be able to verify a patron's risk factor while attending certain public events. For example, a business would be able to check for confirmation if a customer had received a COVID-19 vaccination. The process might also provide information if the person had recently tested negative for the virus. The Associated Press (AP) published an explainer about vaccine passports. AP noted that several companies were developing a potential passport product. The travel industry has shown particular interest in the idea after international air travel collapsed during the pandemic. Also included in AP's explainer was information on how wealthier countries may benefit from vaccine passport implementation. This would potentially leave less fortunate countries behind. On March 30, CBS News reported that the White House was leaving the work of creating vaccine passports to the private sector: In sum, it's true that Greene referred to a vaccine passport as Biden's mark of the beast.
