> and a negative test is better than a vaccine

That doesn't sound like something she would say, and I've never encountered her making that claim. I'm pretty sure she got vaccinated and has encouraged other people to do so as well. She does seem skeptical of the ability of the vaccines to prevent infection by newer variants. To some degree, that's probably true right?

I can't address your speculation or prove a negative, I can prove she endorsed or said those things.

It's in the wikipedia article linked by the GP. To help you out -

In September 2021, concerning COVID-19, she tweeted an article by Glenn Greenwald which argued that proof of a negative test is far more meaningful than proof of a vaccine, contradicting experts who argue that testing is insufficient and should be considered temporary to allow more time for vaccine hesitancy issues to be addressed.

Assuming she hasn't deleted her tweet:

She said she was like Galileo here: https://www.ft.com/content/5d840a5c-fa0c-4d08-9574-59f0d3e8c...

This was in the context of vaccine passports for entry into public places, not in general. The original comment removes that very important context. I have literally heard her advocate getting vaccinated, she’s on the record recommending it.
