Dr. Rand Paul to Fauci: ‘You’re Not Wearing a Mask Because of Any Science’

Dr. Rand Paul to Fauci: ‘You’re Not Wearing a Mask Because of Any Science’

“You want to get rid of vaccine hesitancy? Tell them they can quit wearing their mask after they get a vaccine. instead of telling them the nanny state’s going to be there for three more years and you’ve got to wear a mask forever.”

Sen. Rand Paul, who is a physician, scorched Dr. Anthony Fauci because he wants Americans to wear a mask until 2022 even if they had the COVID-19 vaccine or the virus:

“You’ve been vaccinated and you parade around in two masks for show,” Paul continued. “You’re defying everything we know about immunity by telling people to wear a mask that have been vaccinated.”’

“You want to get rid of vaccine hesitancy? Tell them they can quit wearing their mask after they get a vaccine,” the senator said, “instead of telling them the nanny state’s going to be there for three more years and you’ve got to wear a mask forever. People don’t want to hear it and there’s no science behind it.”

“If you have immunity you’re wearing a mask to give comfort to others. You’re not wearing a mask because of any science,” he said.

That’s putting the rubber on the road. Not a fan of vaccine as in never had a flu shot, but at least a carrot before the stick instead of a stick after the stick.

    You must think George Washington was an idiot then, along with Thomas Jefferson.

    Doctor Rand Paul is not anti-vaccine and he is easily conservative enough for well not just me but for millions of people who vote for him.

    Unlike the masks or if one vaccine Britain says is safe that Germany and France (without evidence in my opinion based on data produced) says isn’t is safe for market right now the concept of vaccination and getting vaccine is a science vs anti-science debate.

      If what they were giving was an actual vaccine as vaccines have been done for years then you would find agreement. However what is being called a “vaccine” now is NOT a vaccine and is instead gene therapy intended to reprogram your immune system to target a specific protein that can occur in many places OTHER than the virus and also the mechanism they are using to perform this reprogramming does not have a point at which it stops. This means that your immune system can be pushed in a state where it either breaks down and you develop an immune deficiency or it can go to the other extreme and you end up with at the least an overactive immune system where you develop major rashes and other painful growths or in the worst case an auto-immune disease that eventually kills you. So while I welcome vaccines, I think I will let other be the lab mice for this dangerous experiment. Also since I have already had COVID there is little reason to take the major risks.

        The flu vaccine has been around for how long? Gene therapy is a respected part of our medical system.

        Rand Paul as a doctor would be the first person to tell you take your medicine. In his capacity as a senator he is against forcing you to do it that doesn’t mean you should refuse to take your medicine.

        You could go take a nap in the middle of a highway it doesn’t make it a good idea.

      Paul isn’t being pro or anti vax here, he’s simply pointing out what a hypocrite the fraud Fauci is.

        Danny in reply to Ironclaw. | March 18, 2021 at 9:59 pm

        There is no scientific debate about the vaccine, there was a fraudulent article based on doctored data run in the lancet well over 20 years ago that has been exposed as a fraud and retracted.

          Barry in reply to Danny. | March 19, 2021 at 10:41 am

          “There is no scientific debate…”

          The marxist danny might as well be talking about global warming.

          They’re all the same, paid, stupid, don’t fall for it.

    I suppose that I should not be surprised that Fauci has turned out to be another Beltway, wishy washy, self promoting, con artist. I was willing to give him the benefit of doubt, that was a mistake.

Rand Paul is a better doctor than Fauci.

    Brave Sir Robbin in reply to Danny. | March 18, 2021 at 3:53 pm

    Rand Paul is a doctor. Dr. Fauci, is not.

      Brave Sir Robbin in reply to Brave Sir Robbin. | March 18, 2021 at 4:03 pm

      I correct myself. He is licensed in Maryland.

        chrisboltssr in reply to Brave Sir Robbin. | March 18, 2021 at 4:46 pm

        Don’t correct yourself. Simply being licensed doesn’t mean anything. When’s the last time Tony Fauci actually treated someone?

          puhiawa in reply to chrisboltssr. | March 18, 2021 at 9:14 pm

          It appears he actually has not been a treating physician for about 50 years.

          Gremlin1974 in reply to chrisboltssr. | March 18, 2021 at 9:22 pm

          @puhiawa I don’t know about 50 years but he hasn’t been an actual practicing physician since at least 1986 when he took the job he currently holds. Also, when/if he did ever actually practice his specialty was Internal Medicine, so just a basic hospital doc. NOT an Epidemiologist or even Infectious Disease.

          He did not and does not now actually have any qualification to hold the position that he does, other than somebody liked him enough to make him a bureaucrat.

          JusticeDelivered in reply to chrisboltssr. | March 18, 2021 at 10:16 pm

          Is Fauci cut from expert witness cloth?

        PersonofInterests in reply to Brave Sir Robbin. | March 18, 2021 at 5:43 pm

        He’s a Bureaucrat and Technocrat who masquerades as a doctor while wearing a white coat to solicit Taxpayer Money from the Federal Government’s Politicians, elected and unelected. That’s how he has managed at age 80 to still be feeding at the Public Trough and getting paid $417,000/year and more than a U.S. President for what: Giving Bum Advice. He hasn’t been right the first time about anything, including HIV/AIDS and should have been fired long before finishing 40 years on the Federal Payroll. He hasn’t laid a stethoscope on a human being in 40 years because he sits at a desk answering phone calls from politicians to brown nose his way into raping the U.S. Taxpayer for funds to keep himself and his organization in existence. HE IS EXACTLY THE POSTER CHILD FOR THE TRAVESTY THAT IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND HE MOST DEFINITELY IS NOT AND NEVER HAS BEEN AN “APOLITICAL CAREER PROFESSIONAL.” Where else in life can a fraud like this Quack and Hack get paid that kind of money legally?

        No doubt, Dr. Fauci is complicit in the Scamdemic planned, organized, choreographed, and conducted to change Political Outcomes. He even predicted in 2017 that a Pandemic would be experienced by President Trump, so confident was he of their plans.

        He is responsible for the death of tens of thousand as a member of the Global Healthcare Mafia that promotes their “Vaccines Only Protection Racket” while denigrating cheaper and effective therapeutics like Hydroxychloroquine + Zinc + Azithromycin that have been purposely withheld from distribution. This guy would be found on a lamp post back in the day given all of his murderous quackery.

        This rat faced little hemorrhoid deserves to be treated as a pariah and one of the hottest places in hell for what he has done.

          The treatments you note other than zinc have no demonstrable impact on Covid. As for zinc it might have a positive impact bit is far less effective than a vaccine. If you are going to have a crack at someone in the manner you do you might want to establish a scientifically coherent position instead of sounding like an idiot.

          I am pretty certain that I had WuFlu last spring, Marx311, and I, like the 99% of people who get it, survived just fine. I was wiped out for like two weeks, but even with my heart condition, I was not hospitalized, nor, clearly, did I die. I did use zinc lozenges to help my cough, which was horrible, and I did drink a lot of oregano tea (black tea–Tetley, my fave–honey, ground oregano, milk), and besides the stunning level of fatigue (far more then when I was recovering from a heart procedure), it just came and went.

          Can I say the zinc helped? Well, no. But can you say, definitively, that it didn’t? Of course not. “Sounding like an idiot,” it would appear, is relative. I have warned you about insulting our readers before, yet again you do it. Do you think this is helping your case here? At all? It’s certainly not endearing you to me, Marx boy.

          “mark311” = marxist

          Always full of horse manure, never speaks any truth.

          “demonstrable impact”

          Define that you syphilitic chimp brained moron. The impact has been withheld but proven by other means beyond the reach of the US government that has done everything it can to murder people that contract the virus.

          Mark: At least one study confirms the therapeutic effects of the HCQ cocktail.
          You should take your own advice.

          Brave Sir Robbin in reply to PersonofInterests. | March 19, 2021 at 1:13 am

          Actually, there are a large number of studies demonstrating the efficacy of the cocktail, if taken early during symptom onset.

          @txvet

          Thanks for the link, it’s one of the few studies I’ve seen that’s supportive of HCQ. It does appear from a methodology point of view to be a combination of all three previously mentioned treatments so it’s different to many of the studies I’ve previously looked at. Never the less the evidence for each in isolation is still limited but from that study appears that as a combined treatment may have some.efficy.

          @Fuzzyslippers

          Odd that you mention insults since its been your mode of argument against me for sometime, and no you haven’t warned previously. If you’d actually read what id written you’ll note that I excluded zinc since there is some scientific support for its efficy. The others not so much.

          I find you pretty hypocritical to take issue with insults when you yourself spent most of your time using pejorative terms, and indeed I’ve been on the receiving end of considerably worse without taking any issue. I haven’t seen you take issue with anyone else on here, including comments below such as ‘syphilitic chimp brained moron’.

          I’m glad you recovered from covid ok, many others haven’t and peddling non scientific remedies doesn’t help; indeed can be argued that its worse as they don’t seek appropriate treatment.

          I think this is fair. I have been rude to you, calling you Marx and Marx boy and the like. I agree that this is out of line and hypocritical. I will refrain from doing so in future because I don’t like to become the thing I dislike.

          I thought I removed the syphilitic chimp thing, but I may have just seen it, smiled, and intended to remove it later. I dunno, I’m a writer, I have a weakness for turn of phrase flair. If you want it removed, I will, though, since that’s also a fair point. My vote, though, goes to letting it stand. I’ve let your insults stand, after all, and they didn’t have half the finesse of that one.

          Who is peddling non-scientific remedies, though? This I don’t get. You do understand from all your reading of scientific studies that literally 99% of people who contract WuFlu survive, right? That a minuscule portion are hospitalized, and that even fewer actually die (and those that do tend to be elderly, have underlying and pre-existing health conditions, and sometimes were involved in motor vehicle accidents that caused the fatality, though, if they tested positive, they were racked up as a COVID death).

          If you stop your hysterical alarmism, I’ll work on being less cavalier. Deal?

    You keep sending the same flawed studies as links. There is significant evidence I’ve linked too previously that shows you to be wrong in the context of social distancing.

fauci the fraud: let’s talk covid facts: wear a mask.

Paul: name a study about variants to warrant mask wearing.

fauci the fraud: well, we don’t have one yet: wear a mask anyways.

Paul: then it’s all conjecture.

fauci the fraud: no it’s not. Wear a mask.

Paul: no facts, no evidence means it’s all theater

fauci the fraud: i totally disagee with you. Wear a mask, and tomorrow i will burp out of the other side of my mouth.

What a liar. What a total POS. Complete fraud. RESIGN NOW FAUCI.

Fauci has been screwing the public for 40+ years. He is and always will be a fraud and shyster. He is incompetent, that is and never will be in doubt. He sucks up research money and returns nothing.
He is a PRIME example as to why there should be mandatory retirement at 65 for all government employees. Excepting the President.

I would like to move to Kentucky just so Rand Paul can represent me.

Fauci is the kind of power drunk authoritarian Nazis put in charge of concentration camps.

    Barry in reply to JHogan. | March 18, 2021 at 9:37 pm

    Fauci and the rest of the worldwide marxist commie cabal discovered a method that did not require rounding people up…

Sure would be nice if we had more Rand Paul’s in the senate.
