Lieu (D-CA-33) 12/17/2022: Twitter thread – “Donald Trump was right to invest significant government resources to jumpstart vaccines. The vaccines have worked as intended by reducing risk of hospitalization or death from COVID. If you are not yet vaccinated, talk to your doctor. Or read what AMA has said about vaccines. Link to quoted tweetCovid boosters cut hospitalization risk by at least 50%, CDC data show (Covid boosters cut hospitalization risk by at least 50%, CDC data show... | wapo.st) Link to reply@tedlieu They worked as intended? I'm pretty sure we were told we wouldn't get Covid if we took the vaccine Congressman. I also remember the President Biden and Vice President Harris publicly saying they wouldn't take the vaccine under Trump. How does that help people trust the vaccine? @GutzmanTrever1 The vaccines were designed to prevent hospitalization and death, they were not designed to prevent transmission. Now it's possible that a consequence of reducing symptoms could also reduce spread of the virus. Pfizer and Moderna were very public about the purpose of the vaccines. Link to reply@tedlieu Stop lying @jcassel87 I urge you to talk to your doctor about vaccines. Link to reply@tedlieu These things are not quantifiable. You can't prove net-negatives, you can only have faith that this is the case @SmeltyCB False. You can do controlled studies. Link to reply@tedlieu Ted, you're on the oversight board. Did you ok the FBI to violate the 1st amendment rights of Americans? @RonElCapitan4 The FBI did no such thing. But they did flag foreign influence operations and misinformation to Twitter. It was up to Twitter what they wanted to do with it. Twitter deletes 170,000 accounts linked to China influence campaign | Twitter | The Guardian Link to reply@tedlieu Are you saying because instant death is so high from people that received multiple vaccines lol. And again don't trust studies they're all paid for by somebody. I think common sense is about the only thing that makes sense anymore @JoshFor44911965 You are wrong. I urge you to talk to your doctor about vaccines. Link to reply@tedlieu (Link to twitter.com) @PalladiumFred I am right. Members of the Trump campaign colluded with Russia. Trump's former campaign manager admitted he colluded with Russia. Oh and there's this: GOP operative found guilty of funneling Russian money to Donald Trump... | washingtonpost.com Link to reply@tedlieu But what if you see over and over how vaxxed people get sicker than unvaxxed when the flu or covid is contracted? Coworkers that are vaxxed out for a week or more. Unvax eat a cup if noodles and back by lunch time. How do you account for that? I'm so glad I stayed clean. @CordOrRoy Anecdotes do not constitute data. I urge you to talk to your doctor. Link to reply@tedlieu You know damn well what you are saying is completely false. It was said by Dr Fauci, The President of the United States, and several government officials that if we didn't get the vaccine we would spread the virus. Don't even try to gaslight me on this subject. It's insulting. @GutzmanTrever1 The information was very public that vaccines were designed to reduce symptoms and hospitalization and death. Link to reply@tedlieu Did Ted just say something favorable about Donald Trump? No, that couldn't be. Ted, you will be vigorously criticized by your left-wing colleagues and the media for this faux pas. Get with the hard left program Ted, no compliments for the Donald! @FrankForall I also commended Donald Trump when he made the decision to withdraw from Afghanistan. Link to reply@tedlieu 98.5 % survival rate from COVID 29 @laketrashed So what number do you get when you apply 1.5% death rate across the American population? Link to reply@tedlieu The experimental vaccines have not shown to stop infection, spread, or the reduction of symptoms. @DirkMacdougall False. I urge you to talk to your doctor. Link to reply@tedlieu You appear to be a pretty sophisticated smart guy. Isn't AMA funded by big food in big Pharma? Believe them? Really? @scott_trujillo If you don't trust AMA then look at what American Pediatric Association has said about vaccines. Or talk to your doctor. Link to reply@tedlieu Stop pushing this poison. @MissvalCa I urge you to talk to your doctor. Link to reply@tedlieu They literally don't work you potato @ChrisEd92565304 I urge you to talk to your doctor. Link to reply@tedlieu No thanks,Dr. Ted. You are peddling "vaccines" that are more of a threat to my health than any flu. @rockgardenmgmt I urge you to talk to your doctor. Link to reply@tedlieu lol... @tedlieu never sleeps. He just sits on his couch with a Trumpy bear in his lap and an iPhone taped to his face.. He is literally a Trump addict. 🤣 (Link to twitter.com) @WRSmithCA Thank you for reading my tweets! Link to reply@tedlieu Hahaha 😅 vaxxes also stop cov1d, stop you from transmitting cov1d and stop you from getting cov1d. Except they never did and they still don't. They want you to believe them again...you can't go back to their pleas of, "We're telling you the truth this time". DON'T BE A VAXX SAP! @skidmarkymark37 I urge you to talk to your doctor. Link to reply@tedlieu Do whatever you want but respect my human rights and **** off !! Simple as that! NO GOV CAN EVER BE TRUSTED WITH THE POWER TO DECIDE WHAT GOES IN A HUMANS BODY ! THAT IS EVIDENT NOW BEYOND ANY DOUBT! Anyone who doesn't understand this basic truth is dangerously stupid ! @karvel4444 I urge you to talk to your doctor.

Go back inder a rock @tstone73179 I urge you to talk to your doctor. Link to reply@tedlieu We see exactly what your twisted minds are going to go with this fake "Good job Trump" now that Fauci is going to be investigated, shift the blame on Trump is not going to work. @monica_remy I urge you to talk to your doctor. Link to reply@tedlieu Ted Lieu needs to stop lying. @CatchTheRedWave I urge you to talk to your doctor. Link to reply@tedlieu Sorry Ted, a vaccination prevents infection. Is therapeutic reduces the risk of serious disease. You really need to stop spreading Russian propaganda @CatchTheRedWave I urge you to talk to your doctor.”
