Early Wednesday morning, former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz took to social media to declare that he never received the “jab.”
“I never took the jab,” Gaetz wrote at 6:31 a.m. on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, on February 19.
His post quickly went viral as social media users wanted to know if the conservative TV host was referring to his alleged love of Botox and dermal fillers or the COVID-19 vaccine (five years following the pandemic for some reason).
“He surely ain’t talking about Botox,” Jeff Timmer, a political strategist and the Lincoln Project’s chief operations officer and campaign manager, quipped.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?

“Botox or Covid?” a user asked.

Maybe he is finally clearing the air regarding his shocking appearance at the 2024 Republican National Convention (RNC) last summer: his highly arched eyebrows and shiny orange glow.
At the time, New Times‘ go-to plastic surgery expert Dr. Michael Salzhauer, AKA Dr. Miami, suspected that Gaetz may have recently received Botox injections, a thread lift (eyebrow lift), or eyebrow threading with the help of some makeup, of course.
Popular X account @WUTangKids would like a word with Gaetz.
“‘I never took the jab’…but something make my face look like this,” the post reads with a picture of Gaetz as a sleep paralysis demon at the RNC.

Another user wants Gaetz to fess up.
“Bro, stop lying about your Botox,” they advised.

Matt, seriously, the world wants to know: what is your injection routine? (Perhaps only to use as a cautionary tale of what not to do.)
Then what explains this? 🧠https://t.co/Szee6bQdQk pic.twitter.com/JfmCtNdqMH

One user was busy thinking about other jabs. (Hint: Gaetz’s alleged sexual relations with a 17-year-old girl).
“To[o] busy jabbing 17-year-old girls,” the user responded.

It is just another day of Gaetz getting clowned on social media since his resignation from Congress.
